Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four – Surviving Big Brother
In Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four , you are Winston Smith, trapped in the gray oppression of the Minitrue, where truth is rewritten and freedom is a crime. Your goal is only one: escape to the Golden Country before time runs out, before Big Brother extinguishes all hope.
It's an abstract solitaire game that, in just 15 minutes, presents you with a puzzle of dice and decisions. Each roll is a step toward freedom or a wall that sets you back. You must manage your limited resources, confront fear, and find the right path before the regime's rules swallow you up. Short, intense, ruthless: exactly like the world Orwell imagined.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two equals four. Can you defend it?

🐸 COME SI GIOCA
The truth rewritten.
In Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four , you're catapulted into the heart of George Orwell's novel, playing Winston Smith, the man tasked with manipulating memories and erasing people who have become "unpersons." His work is alienating, becoming a symbol of the struggle between freedom and oppression.
A solitary journey.
This is a solitaire board game , where every choice is a step towards survival or surrender to Big Brother. Your goal is clear: escape the Ministry of Truth and reach the mythical Golden Country before time runs out.
The weight of fear.
Each turn becomes a direct confrontation with your limits, with resources to manage, actions to perform, and obstacles that seek to break your will. It's not just about the game mechanics, but an experience that reflects the disturbing themes of the novel.
The race against time.
You only have a limited number of rounds to complete your escape. Any hasty decision could cost you your freedom, but any hesitation could lock you forever to the Party's control.
An intense narrative experience.
Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four is more than just a strategic solitaire game, it's a dive into one of literature's most famous dystopian worlds. A game that challenges you not only in terms of moves, but also in terms of ideas.

Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four
In a world that denies you the truth, even a die can decide your fate.
A short but intense solitary journey, between fear, freedom and resistance
Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four – Escape from the Minitrue
In Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four you play as Winston Smith , the employee of the Ministry of Truth who rewrites history every day to erase what should not exist.
But his heart cries out for freedom: page after page, die after die, you will try to escape to the Golden Land , far from Big Brother's control. Each roll is not just a number, but a step towards freedom... or a new way of falling into fear.
An abstract micro-game inspired by Orwell
Created by Perepau Llistosella and published by Kokorin Games , Winston: Nineteen Eighty-Four is a solo board game that combines abstraction and narrative in just 15 minutes of play.
Based on Orwell's literary masterpiece, the title uses simple mechanics— rolling dice and pencil and paper —to tell the story of a desperate escape from the regime's control. The challenge lies in managing the limited turns to reach the finish line before the system catches you. A short, portable, and surprisingly meaningful experience, it's ideal for those who enjoy quick narrative games and those looking for a "baggage" title that's also packed with atmosphere.
We played it… out of breath 🐸
Sitting with a die and a notebook, we found ourselves experiencing Winston's tension in every choice. 🎲✍️
The game is fast-paced, but not light: each turn feels like a countdown, and the fear of failure stays with you until the very last move. It's not a title for those looking for large components, but for those who love fast-paced, deep solitaire games , this little Orwell tabletop is a gem.
