Description

Twilight Struggle is a two-player game that drops you into the midst of the Cold War, where the United States and the Soviet Union engage in a decades-long dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional flares of warfare. The game takes you on a journey from the ruins of post-war Europe to the final days of the Soviet Union in 1989, with the entire world as your stage. You'll need to navigate the complexities of espionage, politics, and ideology as you try to make the world safe for your superpower's way of life. With a playtime of 120 to 180 minutes, Twilight Struggle is a game that requires strategy and careful planning, as you manage your resources and make tough decisions about how to use your cards and units. The game's event cards add a layer of historical depth and flavor, covering everything from the Space Race to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the possibility of nuclear war looms large, making every move count.
