1989: Dawn of Freedom – Cold War CDG Clash with Ava Foxfort on Rally the Troops

Join me and friend of the show Ava Foxfort—brilliant board game streamer and lover of all things crunchy—for a Teach & Play stream of 1989: Dawn of Freedom, the Cold War classic designed by Jason Matthews and Ted Torgerson. You can find Ava's work and socials here: https://campsite.bio/avafoxfort.

1989 is a tense, card-driven game that drops players into the final year of the Cold War, where a wave of democratic revolutions swept through Eastern Europe. One player takes the role of the entrenched Communist regimes, trying to hold on to power amid growing unrest. The other plays the Democrat, building civil resistance and rallying students, workers, and the Church in the hope of tearing down the Iron Curtain.

Inspired by Twilight Struggle, 1989 brings a sharp political and ideological focus to one of the most transformative moments in modern history. Whether you're into historical games, CDGs, or just want to watch a pivotal chapter of the 20th century play out on the table—this is a stream you won't want to miss.
