Mechanics

The game takes place during the Cold War. The player assumes the role of a leader of one of two empires – the USA or the USSR. The game is played in a turn-based system. The opponents are playing drawn cards which triggers events profitable for both sides, for one side or neutral. These cards strengthen their position in the region, weaken the opponent, develop the space program or give them strategic advantage. By doing so, players gather Victory Points. The player who will have more of them at the end of the game wins.

Game modes

The “What If” mode is an interesting addition to the game. It allows playing the game in an alternative reality in which for example Berlin was conquered by western nations and the elections in England in 1945 were again won by Churchill and his party.

Twilight Struggle contains a singleplayer mode as well in which the player receives random cards and must use them to finish the game. It is worth mentioning that the game is available in many language versions: English, French, Italian, German, Spain, Russian, Czech, Polish, Chinese and Korean (in PC, Mac and Linux versions of the game).
