Fantasy Flight Games has announced the October release of Red November (MSRP $24.95), a cooperative board game in which players assume the role of a gnome adventurer trapped inside a doomed Russian nuclear submarine.  The sub is descending fast, the nuclear reactors are overheating, there are fires breaking out everywhere, the hull is springing leaks from the rapidly increasing pressure, a giant Kraken is lurking nearby, and, worst of all, the crew is running out of vodka!  As players move around the board more trouble breaks out in this board game equivalent of a disaster movie.

Bruno Faidutti and Jef Gontier designed Red November for 3-8 players with a playing time of 1-2 hours.  With its cooperative emphasis the game works best with 5 or more players who have to get organized, divide the tasks and sometimes even sacrifice themselves for the good of all.
