"When besieged, as the call to battle we do not - but the long twilight burden of the call to battle summons us again, as the call to bear arms, though the trumpet arm is necessary to us now. " -John F. Kennedy In 1945, unlikely allies defeated Hitler's war machine, while mankind's most destructive weapon forced the Japanese Empire to its knees in a firestorm. Where once there stood many great powers, now only two stood - the United States and the USSR. The world had scarce months to sigh together before a new conflict threatened. Unlike the Titanic struggle of previous decades, this conflict is waged mainly, not by soldiers and tanks, but by spies and politicians, scientists, intellectuals, artists and traitors. Twilight Struggle is a two-player game that simulates the 45-year dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional flares of war between the USSR and the United States. The whole world is the stage on which these two giants fight. The game begins among the ruins of Europe, as the two new superpowers scrambled over the remains of the Second World War and ends in 1989, when only America was left standing. Twilight Struggle inherits its basic system from the card-driven classics We the People and Hannibal. It is in the same tradition quick-playing, low-complexity game. The game map is the world map of the period, on which players move units and influence attempts to gain allies and control for their superpowers. Twilight Struggle's event cards add detail and flavor to the game. They cover a vast array of historical events: the Arab-Israeli conflict, Vietnam, the peace movement that brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and other such incidents. Subsystems capture the prestige-laden space race as well as nuclear tensions, the possibility of a goodbye nuclear war. Can you, as the President of the United States or the Premier of the Soviet Union, lead your country to victory? Play Twilight Struggle and find out. This Deluxe Edition is a must-have for any gamer.
