Twenty-first-century realpolitik as a heavy deck-built tug-of-war between four superpowers.
Who it's for
Politics nerds and Twilight Struggle veterans who want a full-evening simulation of the world they actually live in.
Not for you if…
Three-hour heavyweights or politics at the table put you off, because this game is unapologetically both.
Vibe's take
heavy, tense, thought-provoking, asymmetric, epic
World Order hands you one of the four great powers of the 2010s, the USA, China, Russia or the EU, and three hours to bend the globe your way. Your deck is your government: multi-use cards fund interventions, trade offensives and influence campaigns, and every upgrade to your engine mirrors a real lever of statecraft. Influence majorities across the world's regions decide who actually leads the new order, and the game is unafraid to let diplomacy curdle into confrontation. Heavy, opinionated and uncomfortably plausible, it is closer to a seminar you will argue about at dinner than a casual night in.
