In collaboration with the Stasi Records Archive (BStU) and the DDR Museum, Playing History has developed a game with 48 pages of accompanying material that can be played both in educational institutions of all kinds and at home.
Background: In November 1989, the GDR leadership is forced to retreat further and further under pressure from the citizens' movement. The dictatorship is in an open crisis from which it will not recover. The Ministry for State Security was not unaffected. On November 6th, even before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the destruction of documents is ordered by Minister Erich Mielke.
In the game, players switch perspectives and work for the Stasi. The aim is to destroy as many documents as possible before the citizens bring about the inevitable end.
This card game is suitable for 2-5 players. It can be unpacked and played immediately without having to read the instructions. The rules are self-explanatory, which makes the game particularly attractive for inexperienced players.
