Reply: Twilight Struggle:: General:: Re: Options????
by Riku Riekkinen There is no reason why you shouldn't use CCW & optionals together. Its statistically the most balanced option there is (though the data is very low).I don't however like CCW,...

by QBert80 I recommend either TS or 1989. Both are rife with tension and heavily strategic. With its lack of focus on deck management and unrestricted spreading of influence, I found 1960 dull in...

by TwoShedsJackson I think 1960 is a little older, or of similar age to TS. Having played all three I think 1989 is the best of the bunch, a refined version of TS if you will.

by gecko1919 I would go with TS once I played TS I haven't really gone back to 1960. 1960 is however a good game to get into card driven games since it a bit more simplistic then 1989 and TS. I have...

by DarkTori I recommend Twilight Struggle as I feel that it is a more refined than 1960 (which I also enjoy). I have never had two games of TS play out the same and even though there are a host of...

by geki I prefer TS over 1989 for the scope and the interest of the theme (and in such a game, theme means a lot). I prefer both over 1960 for the depth of play (but 1960 is still a good game, in my...

by gecko1919 Realistic playtime is somewhere around 3 hours in my experience depending if someone wins before the end of the game. However your first play or so will be longer of course.

by Riku Riekkinen Yes, Jason said on the CSW that CCW & optionals were not playtested together. In fact CCW was not playtested at all as far as I know. However there is nothing indicating that they...

by Umbrella I'm confused on why this is a dangerous DEFCON 2 card? Doesn't it say "may move in either direction"?
View ArticleReply: Twilight Struggle:: Strategy:: Re: Specific cards: Summit
by spartax Because if you play the card and your opponent wins the roll, they can move DEFCON down and you lose the game.
