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..." – President John F. Kennedy
HISTORY IN THE MAKING Twilight Struggle puts the player at the center of the Cold War, the political and economic struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that spanned 5 decades from the 1950's to the 1990's. Designed by award winning creators Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, players control one of the two modern superpowers, as they work to spread their dominance throughout the world via political influence and coup attempts. But if either side triggers nuclear war, it's game over!
CARD BASED EVENTS The event cards in the game are based on actual historical events from the Cold War era. Through the playing of these events, players exert their superpower's influence as they attempt to gain allies and regional control of the globe. From the early days of De-Stalinization, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War and beyond, players are immersed in the actual events of the struggle between these two nations to be the dominant superpower in the world!
IMMERSIVE STRATEGY Hone your skill and strategy as a world leader against an A.I. opponent, and then take your game global with matches against other players via asynchronous online game play.

Very enjoyable game, well adapted from the board game version! The only feature that is missing and would seriously improve my experience is not auto-winning when the time is up but rather be able to flag for win when you want to at any later point in time but also continue playing if that's what you prefer. That's the way it's usually done in games like chess and allows continuing interesting games.

I just got the game I'm into history and the Cold War is my favorite and I couldn't find a cool Cold War game, but I found this game, it's a little too expensive but its worth it recommend buying it. It's a little complicated but when you get the hang of it then its fun

This would be a board game I purchase but never play. The app fixes that greatly

Notifications are broken and it has ruined my experience. Game is great, but buy it in paper, not digital.
★☆☆☆☆A Google user· Oct 3, 2021
This is my favorite game, but this version is a joke. The AI was clearly coded to cheat, knowing a players hand before any action taken by the player could suggest what's in their hand. This is poor lazy design and ruins the game. Also, some of the rules and interactions have been implemented haphazardly further taking away any enjoyment to be had from the fan base. I would have deleted it off my phone, but I paid $8 for it. If you are a fan of the board game I would give this app a hard pass.
★☆☆☆☆Jason Lin· Sep 29, 2022
Enraged by how unlucky it has been for me. I had only 1 and 2 ops cards to start with, and I headlined Vietnam revolts. I couped Philippines first since I had no high ops cards to coup Iran. But it left no influence from either parties in the Philippines after the coup. My opponent then couped me out of Vietnam with no American influence for me to coup back! What the hell! He also got all 5 4ops cards during the early war, but I got none. I need some time to calm down. Hate the game now.

In game font is ridiculously small until that changes cannot recommend the app for phone. Installed to android 9 tablet ... white screen of death. Beware these trumped-up reviews. I'll take a steam key for the PC version, thanks. Still waiting.
