OT: Twilight Struggle

Post by krishub1492 »

Since this is a forum of wargamers, wanted to see if any of you have played Twilight Struggle. I learned about it not long ago and it can be addictive. It started as a board game and can now be played on PC via STEAM. You can play against the AI or against online opponents. Now there is an iPad app.

There is a great strategy website with a lot of detail about the game.

I've read great things about it, but have never taken the plunge and bought it because I can't be sure it would actually get played in my house. It might be perfect, or it might be a little too involved. Can't tell.

Played it a bit, great game!
Even if I would not call it a wargame...

I've played extensively back in time using ACTS, Cyberboard (Vassal never convinced me) and email. Great game, simple rules, but hard to master.

Recent PC game iteration doesn't have too good reviews and from what I've heard is quite buggy.

Yes, I think the version on STEAM is a little buggy. I've only played against the AI so far. It's like chess. Easy to learn the rules but not easy to play well.

Bought it (on Steam) and love it.

Simple, yet hard to master and very fast moving.

Thank You for bringing this to my attention, Sir!
