About this game
The Cold War as a two-player card game — every card is a historical event that can help you or haunt you, and the tension of playing your opponent's events is unlike anything else in gaming. Forty years of geopolitical brinkmanship compressed into two to three hours of pure strategic anxiety. A genuine classic.
