Химическая война (Chemical War) társasjáték

Angol leírás

Химическая война ("Chemical War") is a historical educational board game published in 1925 by the State Publishing House of the Soviet Union.

Designed as both a strategic simulation and a civil defense teaching tool, the game reflects early 20th-century concerns surrounding chemical warfare in modern industrial cities.

Players engage in a turn-based conflict where they must manage resources, control urban areas, and respond to chemical threats while balancing offensive actions and civilian protection.

Rather than glorifying warfare, Химическая война emphasizes preparedness, awareness, and the consequences of chemical weapons, aligning with the educational and propagandistic goals of its time.

Today, the game stands as a rare example of early board games used to communicate political, military, and public safety concepts through play.
