COLD WAR CONFRONTATION: Take control of East or West Germany and guide your nation through the ideological and political battles of the Cold War. Rebuild, compete, and prove your system’s superiority in a postwar Germany. HISTORICAL EVENTS SHAPE GAMEPLAY: Navigate real-world challenges like the Oil Crisis, mass protests, and shifting global politics. Unpredictable events can derail your best-laid plans at any moment. TIGHT, TACTICAL CARD PLAY: Use action cards to grow your economy and raise living standards—but timing and precision are crucial. Smart planning and calculated risks are key to staying ahead of your rival. PARTNERSHIP MODE IN 2+2 EXPANSION: Play as one of four powers—East Germany, West Germany, the USA, or the USSR—in alliances with only one victor. Cooperate when it serves you, but always keep an eye on your own conditions. THE STRUGGLE FOR PEACE & POWER: Balance military buildup and ideological influence while avoiding global catastrophe. Push your agenda, but beware—escalation can end the game for everyone.
