“We seem to have lost. We have not lost. To refuse to fight would have been to lose; to fight is to win.”— Pádraig Pearse, Easter Week 1916
On Easter Monday 1916, the Irish Volunteers, Cumann na mBan and the Irish Citizen Army seized key buildings across Dublin city and declared an Irish Republic. Women of Cumann na mBan ran dispatches, tended the wounded, and fought alongside the men. The game lets you command the rising across all six garrisons.
The heart of the rebellion. Sackville Street's iconic columned building becomes the headquarters of the Irish Republic. It must not fall.
The great domed courts of justice on the north quays. Daly's 1st Battalion holds the western approaches to the city.
A fortress of a factory in the south inner city. MacDonagh's men command the high ground around Bishop Street.
The mill overlooking the Grand Canal dock. De Valera's men block the road the Sherwood Foresters must march to reach the city.
A vast complex of workhouse buildings in Kilmainham. Ceannt's outnumbered battalion fights room to room.
The Irish Citizen Army — with Cumann na mBan members carrying dispatches under fire — occupies the Green and the College of Surgeons. Markievicz commands the south city.
No rules to learn. You are an ordinary Dubliner inside the Rising — every choice you make writes your own story of Easter Week. About ten minutes to play. Far longer to forget.
A young Volunteer at the GPO, or a Cumann na mBan courier running dispatches through the cordon.
Six days, told from the inside. Face tests of nerve, meet Pearse, Connolly and Markievicz, and hold your post as the city burns.
Eleven endings drawn from what truly happened — from Frongoch to the white flag of Moore Street. Which one is yours?
Every fate comes with the true history behind it. Share your fate card and see how long your friends last.
