РЗД НОВЗМБЗР



Настольная игра от известного создателя настольных игр Бруно Файдутти.

Описание с сайта автора:

Hard times onboard the Red November, the brand new attack submarine, flagship of the russian gnome marine, where everythings seems to get wrong at once.

You’ve called for help on the radio, but it won’t be here before one full hour. This means you must try to survive one hour in the submarine, while the water pressure is increasing, the nuclear reactor is overheating, the nuclear missile launchers are pre-igniting, fires and water leaks are everywhere, and there’s very little oxygen and vodka left
. (Курсив мой)

Выдержка из истории создания, заслуживающая внимания целиком:

The main point in the Fantasy Flight editorial policy is to add orcs and trolls everywhere, so Chris Petersen wanted to change the Russian sub into a gnome sub. This was both a clever hint at Warcraft II gnomish submarines, and a way to attenuate the gloomy Kursk wreck reference, which was not very politically correct but on the other hand made for some of the game’s appeal. After some email discussion, we found an arrangement. There would be gnomes, but Russian gnomes drinking vodka. The graphics style, a mix between Steampunk and socialist realism, proves that they got our point well. We also found a clever title, less controversial than Save the Kursk! – Red November. It’s a double allusion, to the movie Red October, which featured a Russian Submarine, and to the strange and little known fact that the October revolution took place in November.

Самой игры под рукой нет, так что составить полное впечатление о степени развесистости клюквы никак не получается. Но хоть что-то.

Если уже было - извините, не нагуглилось.
