Citizens! Our Motherland is torn apart by crises which call for immediate and determined reforms. The Committee trusts you to put the common good above your own interests to resolve the crises. Beware, our intelligence warns that there are usurpators among us who want to seize the power for their own good.

1789 is a social deduction game with the classic concept of hidden identities. Three different teams have three different and contradictory objectives and the deduction comes not only from the table talk but also from the movements on the board. Respond to the French crises according to your personal objectives and try to identify your secret allies for an instant victory but beware - a purge will cost you influence and may lead to the rise of the Bonapartes!

1789 is a simplified and rebalanced version of Glasnost.

My name is Nicholas Hjelmberg and I am a hobby gamer since childhood. Starting with classic games like chess and RISK, I moved on to explore "American" games like Diplomacy and Civilization and then "Euro games" like Settlers and Tigris & Euphrates. Combining my game experience with my history interest and IT and quality profession, I have entered the exciting world of board game design and production.
