Hey gang,I know this has probably been discussed at ad nauseam, but I have 5 questions regarding the differences between 1989 and Twilight Struggle.
1) Is there a significant/noticeable difference in playing time (30 mins or more) between the two?
2) Is one title easier to learn/play than the other?
3) Is one more streamlined than the other?
4) Is there more asymmetry in one than the other?
5) Does either game have a higher reply value than the other?
*Bonus question - Which do you prefer and why?
I am intrigued by the history in both titles and in a perfect world I wouldn't mind owning both. However, one will invariably see more playing time than the other as I only have one interested game partner. We both enjoy 1960 and Campaign Manager and have considered Twilight Struggle and Labyrinth in the past but until now, neither of us have had the time to devote to such an endeavor.
Thanks for your help.
-John
