At a first glance, this is a very well executed game. It’s got heavy fantasy theme and very good components – here the game really shines. The rules are very simple, and yet provide for some interesting options.
What sets this game apart in a good way is brilliant atmosphere, and the way the board changes as permanent effects appear on some spaces: strangers who interact with the player characters, shops, monsters, wells to bathe in and get some boosts… Also, the artwork really gets you into the magical world of Talisman!” – M.

Unlike the titanic struggles of the preceding decades this conflict would be waged not primarily by soldiers and tanks but by spies and politicians scientists and intellectuals artists and traitors.

The entire world is the stage on which these two titans fight. The game begins amidst the ruins of Europe as the two new superpowers scramble over the wreckage of WWII and ends in 1989 when only the United States remained standing.
Twilight Struggle inherits its fundamental systems from the card-driven classics We the People and Hannibal. It is a quick-playing low-complexity game in that same tradition. The game map is a world map of the period whereon players move units and exert influence in attempts to gain allies and control for their superpower.
Twilight Struggle’s Event cards add detail and flavor to the game. They cover a vast array of historical happenings: the Arab-Israeli conflicts Vietnam the peace movement the Cuban Missile Crisis and other such incidents that brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation.
