Description

Iron Curtain is a thrilling board game that drops you into the midst of the Cold War, where you'll engage in a battle of wits with your opponent as you vie for control of the world. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of either the US or the Soviet, playing cards that shape a unique world map with each game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 20 to 30 minutes, you'll be making intense strategic decisions from the get-go. As you navigate the game's 9 turns, you'll need to carefully manage your hand and make tactical choices about which cards to play and when. The game's simplicity belies its depth, and the tension builds as you try to outmaneuver your opponent and gain the upper hand. Will you focus on dominating Europe or expanding into Africa? The choice is yours, and the fate of the Cold War hangs in the balance.
