1

Ahoy Partisans, workers and peasants: it's the alarm!
2

Read these cards aloud in turn.
3

The People’s Springtime lives after all !
4

The people of the Commune have thrown at the bottom of their pedestal the tyrants responsible for censorship, repression and misery. You are a citizen of the Commune.
5

Everywhere, the little people, the oppressed, the voiceless claim the political voice. From all this bubbling emanates a great thirst for happiness and freedom.
6

Workers, peasants, artists, poets, philosophers, activists hug each other and call each other comrades.
7

But the nascent Commune is very fragile, and the first conflicts are born about public order, morality, solidarity and democracy....
8

The enemies, their propaganda and their armies crowded at the gates of the Commune. Their agents are already within its heart. Fear shows up to General Assemblies.
9

Once you have finished reading the instruction cards, continue with the Question cards, always aloud and in turn.
10

Answer it from the point of view of your character. Your character is within the walls of the Commune and cannot leave them. Your character is involved, in one form or another, in the life of the Commune.
11

The context evokes the Paris Commune of 1871, but it is up to you to define any other historical or fictional framework. You can now choose a frame or invent one.
12

If a card mentions a comrade, it is the character played by another person.
13

During your tour, other people may ask you questions or make suggestions. You are free to decide whether or not to take this into account.
14

Between the Previous and Next buttons, you can see a third button marked with an X.
15

If a card or question does not suit you, click on this button and the content that bothers you will be removed from the game.
16

If you remove a card from the game using this X button during your turn, draw a new one.
17

You can also skip your turn. Then give the Question card you just drew to the next person and ask them to answer it as if they had drawn the card.
18

A Question card can then go around the table before a person decides to remove it using the X button.
19

Continue to answer questions, skip your turn or remove cards from the game using the X button until the Epilogue card is drawn.
20

Each person then reacts in turn, and the game ends.
21

You can now start playing. Anyone who wants to can now draw the first Question card.
