Twilight Struggle

@Witt and I have been playing this game and enjoying it a lot. Gets a good score on BGG: www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/206480/imperial-struggle

Two players battle as Britain vs France for domination of the globe in the 18th century - diplomatically, economically and militarily. Great game!

@taamvan:

Can you elaborate on some of the improvements, so that I may hopelessly convince myself to buy it, knowing i’ll never play?

@taamvan:

Everyone at Gencon had their printed bags from FF to pick this up.   Should be massive, and massively intimidating.

I am definitely looking forward to it. :)

Anybody want to play a game of Twilight Struggle using Vassal? It’s free, it looks nice, and it supports both live play and PBEM play.

Thanks for the replies. It does seem rule heavy. Actually I still haven’t finished reading all of them although I’m close. : )

Twilight Struggle has to be one of my favourite board games.

The mechanics are fairly simple, per se. However the real strategy lies in using and timing your use of cards well.

Plus, it is incredibly fun to throw down a card and yell at your opponent:

MISTER GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!!!

Twilight imperium third edition is one of the best games i have come across, it´s really cool, but takes a lot of time, especially if you play a long war (took 14 hours)
