On November 9, 2009, the world marked the 20th anniversary of the end of the Cold War. That was the day that the most tangible symbol of the Cold War - the Berlin Wall - was banished to the ash heap of history. Unlike the other major conflicts of the 20th century, the Cold War did not end in an explosion of neutrons, but rather in an explosion of human freedom and optimism. We had avoided what many thought inevitable: the destruction of humanity by armed conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. Overnight, the face of Europe had changed. Suddenly everything was possible. That was 23 years ago now. Unfortunately, we have all learned that the end of the Cold War was not "the end of history." Humanity would find new ways to divide itself. As the threat of nuclear holocaust disappeared, newer and more sinister forms of conflict took its place. Where once superpowers stormed the world, decentralized networks and even individuals are now capturing the world's attention. This Deluxe Edition of Twilight Struggle attempts to capture the feeling of that earlier era. Twilight Struggle is a two-player game that simulates the forty-five-year dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional outbreaks of warfare between the Soviet Union and the United States. Twilight Struggle utilizes the card-driven game mechanics pioneered in award-winning games like We the People and Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage, recreating the conflict between the most powerful nation states the world has ever known. The scope of the game covers the entire world as it was found in 1945. Players move units and exert influence in attempts to gain allies and control for their superpower. As with GMT's other card-driven games, decision making is challenging; How can you best use your cards and units with consistently limited resources? Twilight Struggle's Event cards provide coverage for a wide range of historical events, from the Berlin Airlift to the Vietnam War and the American peace movement, to the Cuban Missile Crisis. This Deluxe Edition of Twilight Struggle combines world-class components, with the kind of world-class gameplay for which GMT is already known. We can't think of a better way to commemorate this vital piece of world history. We invite you to illuminate an era with the words of one of the most iconic statesmen: "Now the trumpet calls us again, not as a call to bear arms, although we need arms; not as a call to battle, though we be in strife - but a call to bear the burden of a long battle in the twilight" - John F. Kennedy

First choose a player as director, the "Poule-pool Master" (PPM). The PPM turns the cards face up one by one in the center of the table. Once placed, these cards form the movie. Meanwhile, the other players just have to count the eggs! In the first game the deck consists of: 15 eggs, 10 chickens and 10 foxes. You counted 5 eggs? Hit the table and shout Poule-Poule! The player who hits the film first if it contains at least 5 eggs earns 1 point. Each part of a colored egg represents a point. Another round can begin! The first player to earn 3 points – the first to have a completely colored egg – wins the game. A player disagrees with this? Ask for a slow motion! If a player hits the film, the other players can agree, and hit the player's hand, or not hit, if they disagree. Only if at least one player does not hit, we watch the film in slow motion. The PPM turns over the Film deck - without changing the order - and then plays the film again, card-by-card, starting with the top card (which was played first), but this time in slow motion... All players who disagree with the player who hit first: - earn 1 point if they are right (after the slow motion there appear to be fewer than 5 available eggs), or - lose 1 point if they are wrong (there are were at least 5 eggs available).

Western Empires is not a war game, as it may seem at first glance. Yes, wars happen, but it is rather a game about history, culture, trade, development and... calamities. Players develop their own unique civilization in the fields of arts, crafts, science, civics and religion. Each player starts their civilization with one population token in 8000 BC, but it grows and grows over time and eventually cities can be built. Cities bring wealth and fortune, of course, but also... major problems such as epidemics, famine, earthquakes, pirate attacks and civil unrest. These riches and problems are expressed in trading cards. The more cities, the more cards a player receives. Trading is the basis of the game. A truly social experience, where all players trade simultaneously with each other for a limited time. If you end up with a problem card... then you have to suffer these problems. Build walls, give your citizens art, music and architecture. Developing religion, democracy, improving science... 51 different advancements can be developed in five different categories. Maybe you can even construct a wonder of the world, or spread your people across the map to gain cultural dominance. The player who best manages to cooperate, trade or fight for territory, defend his people against nature or enemies such as barbarian hordes and survive the test of time will ultimately win the game after 12 hours.
