Radio Victory is a multi-role gamebook designed for youngers aged 12 and up. It offers an engaging way to learn — or revise — key themes of the Italian Resistance during the Second World War, including the role of women, the harshness of daily life, and the significance of Allied Intelligence.

The box includes 5 gamebooks, each dedicated to a different character whose story unfolds over time and with whom players will identify. As the stories of the five characters are interwoven, they should ideally be played simultaneously across multiple tables. However, it is also possible to play with fewer than five characters, following the clear and simple rules provided.

The game is suitable both for home use — playing with friends or family — and for use in the classroom, as a tool to support historical learning. Although it is a role-playing game, it does not require a game master: the facilitator (who can be one of the players or, in a classroom setting, the teacher) does not need to be an expert historian, as the game provides clear and comprehensive instructions that serve as a helpful guide.
