Red Lines: A Syrian Shell Game About Sarin

About

Russia attempts to deter the US strikes by disrupting US detection and targeting, disguising valuable assets, or running out the clock on the strike window. The game involves elements of bluffing, deduction, budget management, and risk management. It can be played with or without a memory element. The entire game fits onto one page of rules, two pages for the map, and a half page of chits. It requires one 6 sided die to be supplied by the player.
