Game Description
"Now the trumpet
summons us again - not as a call to bear arms, though arms we
need, not as a call to battle, though embattled we are - but
a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle..."
- John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Speech, January 1961
In 1945, unlikely
allies toppled Hitler's war machine, while humanity's most devastating
weapons forced the Japanese Empire to its knees in a storm of
fire. Where once there stood many great powers, there then stood
only two. The world had scant months to sigh its collective relief
before a new conflict threatened. 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.

Twilight Struggle is
a two-player game simulating the forty-fiveyear dance of intrigue,
prestige, and occasional flares of warfare between the Soviet
Union and the United States. The entire world is the stage on
which these two titans fight to make the world safe for their
own ideologies and ways of life. The game begins amidst the ruins
of Europe as the two new "superpowers" scramble over
the wreckage of the Second World War, and ends in 1989, when
only the United States remained standing.

Twilight Struggle
inherits its fundamental systems from the carddriven classics
We the People and Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage. It is a quick-playing,
low-complexity game in that 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.
As with GMT's other card-driven games, decision-making is a challenge;
how to best use one's cards and units given consistently limited
resources?

Twilight Struggle's Event
cards add detail and flavor to the game. They cover a vast array
of historical happenings, from the Arab- Israeli conflicts of
1948 and 1967, to Vietnam and the U.S. peace movement, to the
Cuban Missile Crisis and other such incidents that brought the
world to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Subsystems capture
the prestige-laden Space Race as well as nuclear tensions, with
the possibility of game-ending nuclear war. Can you, as the U.S.
President or Soviet Premier, lead your forces to victory? Play
Twilight Struggle, and find out.
