About...
Twilight Struggle is a two-player game that simulates the forty-five years of intrigue, prestige, and occasional outbreaks of violence between the Soviet Union and the United States.
The entire world is the stage on which these two titans fight to defend their ideals and way of life.
The game begins in the ruins of Europe, as the two new "superpowers" clash, and ends in 1989.
The core of the Twilight Struggle system is inspired by Card Driven classics such as We The People or Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage. It is a fast and fluid game. The Event Cards cover a wide range of historical events, from the Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1948 and 1967, to Vietnam, the US Peace Movement, and the Cuban Missile Crisis... which brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation.
The intricate mechanics simulate the prestigious Space Race as well as nuclear tensions, with the possibility of Atomic War ending the game.
A masterpiece of the genre, demanding, complete and complex!
