About this game
East versus West Germany in a Cold War tug-of-war where economic prosperity and citizen happiness determine who wins. This asymmetric two-player game captures four decades of divided Germany, from reconstruction through the fall of the Berlin Wall. Build infrastructure, manage living standards, and deal with mass protests. The East must prevent a popular uprising; the West must not let the gap grow too wide. A deeply thematic political simulation that ends with reunification or collapse.
