Game Description

History teaches us that not all battles are fought with weapons. After the fall of the Axis powers in 1945, the world faced a new type of conflict: a cold war fought not by soldiers and tanks, but by spies, politicians, scientists, and intellectuals. This epochal scenario comes to life in Twilight Struggle, the board game that immerses you in the most intense historical simulation of this crucial period. Prepare to manage political strategy and global influence between two superpowers.

Twilight Struggle is an acclaimed two-player board game that recreates the dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional outbreaks of war between the Soviet Union and the United States. For forty-five years, from 1945 until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the entire world is your stage. Every move is crucial in this masterpiece, where the goal is to spread your ideology and gain global influence, while avoiding a catastrophic nuclear war. Will you be the leader who shapes the destiny of the world?

Inheriting its fundamental systems from classics of the genre, Twilight Struggle offers a deep yet accessible gameplay experience. The game map is a detailed representation of the world of that era, where you will move units and exert influence to gain allies and control. Event cards, a key element, add historical detail and flavor, covering a wide assortment of historical events, from the Arab-Israeli conflicts to the Cuban missile crisis, testing your strategic decisions. Experience history and shape its course.
