Description
Colonial Twilight: The French-Algerian War, 1954-62 drops 1 to 2 players into the complex and tumultuous world of the French-Algerian war. As the insurgent Front de Liberation Nationale or the French government, you'll navigate a web of military and political actions to achieve your goals. The FLN must build support and organize to assume power, while the government must engage the insurgency and preserve civilian support. With a playtime of 90 to 300 minutes, this game is not for the faint of heart, and its complicated rules may take some time to learn. But for those willing to dive in, Colonial Twilight offers a rich and challenging experience, with mechanics like area majority and variable phase order that require careful consideration and strategic thinking. Designed by Brian Train and published in 2017, this game is a unique and immersive take on modern warfare, and its solitaire option lets you test your skills against a bot opponent.
