Possibly.

hmm not a bad review :)

A funny thing happened in the world of board gaming on Dec. 9, 2010; the top-ranked game for the better part of 7 years running on BoardGameGeek was usurped by a very unlikely candidate – Twilight Struggle, a massively strategic, chit-laden, brain-grinding, two-player game about the Cold War, released in 2005. Huh. And this is why I love the board gaming community. This is also why, four hours after learning the news, I walked out of my favorite local game store with Twilight Struggle under my arms and my wife and I proceeded to get about 4 hours sleep over the next five days.

Twilight Struggle: The Cold War, 1945 – 1989 is a card-driven strategy game for two players, with its theme taken from the Cold War. One player plays the United States (US), and the other plays the Soviet Union (USSR). The game takes its title from John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address:

“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…”

In December 2010, Twilight Struggle became the highest-ranked game on BoardGameGeek, surpassing Puerto Rico.

I’ll have to give it a go as soon as I have a friend.

Play Mikey, hear the Lamentations of his women

Looks to be a game played by neck beards in their 30s still living in mums basement

Sounds complicated. I’m still struggling with the intricacies of Angry Birds.

apparently it can be played by email/im so you only need virtual friends

Still a better love story than Twilight.

I prefer RTS rather than tern-based games.

I’m with you on that one pesce.del.giorno. It took me a while to figure out that boomerang bird.
