I am playing twighlight struggle the board game for the first time and its genuinely brilliant. Its like Risk but not shit, naturally i am playing NATO and i have europe, asia and africa on lock rn expanding in central america. It appears using actual american cold war foreign policy works
Edit: I won. America reigns supreme
Actually i ignored south America completely, dont overstretch your empire folks
Neat, you playing the video game or the actual boardgame IRL?
I'd say it's pretty hard to hold on to South America or Africa as the US because the USSR will keep DEFCON at 2 with a coup into a battleground in one of those two continents as their first action just about every turn they can.
Boardgame irl but looking at getting the digital version
Lol yeah there are sure a lot of cardboard chits for the physical game. Back in the day the digital version had no DRM so my friendgroup bought one copy and then just passed around a USB stick. Good times.
