Description

"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..." – President John F. Kennedy
HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Twilight Struggle puts the player at the center of the Cold War, the political and economic struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that spanned 5 decades from the 1950's to the 1990's. Designed by award winning creators Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, players control one of the two modern superpowers, as they work to spread their dominance throughout the world via political influence and coup attempts. But if either side triggers nuclear war, it's game over!
CARD BASED EVENTS
The event cards in the game are based on actual historical events from the Cold War era. Through the playing of these events, players exert their superpower's influence as they attempt to gain allies and regional control of the globe. From the early days of De-Stalinization, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War and beyond, players are immersed in the actual events of the struggle between these two nations to be the dominant superpower in the world!
IMMERSIVE STRATEGY
Hone your skill and strategy as a world leader against an A.I. opponent, and then take your game global with matches against other players via asynchronous online game play.

New bugs

Great game but recently has started developing lots of bugs. I didn’t see these a year ago so not sure what happened but it is making the game nearly unplayable. Space race track is not always being progressed despite having successful die rolls. This is the biggest bug and really hinders the game. Game no longer allows you to take actions to advance the DEFCON track to Level 1, ending the game, when the AI opponent plays cards to allow you to do so (ex: USSR playing CIA with current DEFCON of 2). Multiple graphical issues are annoying but not imperative, such as numbers not being on the adding VP stars. AI in general is very subpar, proceeding with some terrible moves but yet always seeming to know your scoring card.

Won’t play again until fixed

The last cosmetic update was a disaster - what was previously an outstanding app is now full of distracting graphical mistakes. I am not starting any new games until the developer undoes the damage done by the update.

Great game. Needs new update

Miloblithe on

United States

This is a fantastic game. However, the latest update seems to have caused more problems than it fixed. The victory point animation doesn’t work correctly, displaying the wrong or no value. The new black text on red and blue background to show what cards have been played is low contrast and harder to read than the previous white text. Would be awesome if you could add a highest and lowest rating achieved to users profiles.

New bugs - don’t update

Deadly Dan on

United States

1.4.4 update (May ‘22) is a bad one. Some of the long-standing bugs you’d think easy to fix have not been (Junta still doesn’t give you mil ops), and new ones introduced (I just lost on DEFCON 1 due to it not resolving Summit right). It also crows Success! on every space race attempt, even if it wasn’t successful. Odd, but not game breaking.

Good game, but lots of bugs

$&@&&@&&& on

United States

I play this game for a while, it is a strong strategy game base on cards. It deserves for my 1st place board game. However, the game showed up some bugs which is annoying. When I played my score card, it dominated region only gave me presents score. When I win the ai player, system give the price to the ai??

Fantastic adaption on the superb board game!

Michaos12345 on

This app has digitized the original board game wonderfully! To the point that I think I’d prefer to play the digital version over the physical version . That’s saying something! The app works flawlessly and never crashes (which unfortunately happens all too often on many game apps). I HIGHLY recommend the game. You will not regret it! 10/10!

Not Random rolls

Great app!!!. on

United States
