Khrushchev's de-Stalinization was meant as a domestic power play to isolate his intra-party rivals, but the Soviet Union also reaped foreign policy benefits from it... as in #TwilightStruggle @jasondcmatthews.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social

It's always strange when the people behind cards in games you play die.

Final state of board for Twilight Struggle, showing the US dominating Europe and the USSR dominating the Middle East, Asia, Southeast Asia.
In the rematch, as the USSR, I again lost control over Europe, but this time I scored the Middle East twice, Asia once, and Southeast Asia with its special card. So I managed a clean win in four turns. #TwilightStruggle #Boardgames

I have, and not for the first time, let the USSR overrun Europe.
(In Twilight Struggle, you automatically lose if one player dominates Europe when its scoring card is played. Twice I've played a long game elsewhere, built a lead in VPs, but lost on this card.) #Boardgames #TwilightStruggle
Tras el parón no hay nada como retomar el hobby con un #TwilightStruggle en @enclavedejuego.bsky.social .
Ya pasando más del meridiano de la partida. Viendo cómo encauzar la Guerra Tardia.

Junto a Imperial Struggle y Guerra del Anillo habré completado las tres partidas gordotas que quería jugar este verano. 👌

#Zenith is a tense tug-of-war battle from @playpunk.bsky.social. We had two players on each side of the board agonizing about which cards to play. It gave me team #TwilightStruggle vibes. (Which for me is high praise.) #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletopgames

Twilight Struggle card "The Voice of America", which normally allows the US player to reduce USSR influence in non-European countries. The card has been modified with the additional rule "Remove from play in 2025."
[US Politics]
In light of #Trump's attempts to axe Voice of America, because it is, he claims, "anti-Trump" (and because he's so insecure that he can't stand the thought that taxpayer dollars might go to anybody who disagrees with him in any way, for any reason) […]

Twilight Struggle.
As if we need the reminder these days.

One of my favorite board games. Competitive 2 player game - one player is the USA and one is the USSR.
When does the expansion come out so we can play it as a co-op game?

Yesterday I taught my buddy how to play Twilight Struggle. We just played the first 3 turns of Early War. It was fun! #twilightstruggle #gmtgames

Well, that was an epic contest and now it's very late. The US was being absolutely pummelled right through to the 1980s and then pulled out a win in final scoring from just slowly spreading influence, a bit at a time, over the last few decades. So many coups. #TwilightStruggle
