Twilight Struggle vs Spirit Island Usage & Stats

"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!

Spirit Island

In the most distant reaches of the world, magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power - and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there. Spirit Island is a cooperative settler-destruction strategy game designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world around A.D. 1700. Players become different Spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Your Spirits work with the native Dahan to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game. Spirit Island includes: • Free access to unlimited plays of the tutorial game • Create custom games with up to 4 available spirits and play 5 full turns • 36 Minor Power cards that enhance the abilities of your Spirits • 22 Major Power cards with more powerful effects to devastate the Invaders • A modular island, made up of 4 balanced island boards, for a variety of layouts • Thematic island boards that reflect the canonical island and provide a new challenge • 15 Invader cards driving a distinctive Invader expansion system • 2 Blight cards with challenging effects as the Invaders blight the Island • 15 Fear cards with beneficial effects, earned as you terrify the Invaders Every rule & interaction in the game has been carefully adapted and thoroughly tested by expert Spirit Island players, as well as the designer himself. If you’re wondering how a certain situation works in Spirit Island, this game is the ultimate rules lawyer! Features: • Original dynamic music composed by Jean-Marc Giffin brings Spirit Island to life. Each Spirit has unique musical elements that wax and wane as the game progresses. • 3D Textured maps bring a realistic look and isometric perspective to the Island. • 3D Classic maps present the Island the way it looks on the tabletop. • 2D Classic maps provide a simplified top-down option for all you number crunchers out there.
