BLOG

In another of our regular board game spotlights, Zatu Games unfurls its optical stalks and affectionately caresses Twilight Struggle, the 2005 release from designers Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, and publisher GMT Games.

The Game

Though named for the unparalleled existential horror experienced by anyone over twelve who sits through Breaking Dawn, Twilight Struggle is actually a game about the Cold War. Two players take on the roles of either the US or the USSR and play through 45 years of history in an effort to spread their influence across the globe.

Often in games players are given a very loosely drawn character to anchor them in the experience. In a war game, maybe they’re a strategist; in a city builder, a town planner. Often, these characters aren’t elaborated beyond their title, but they’re a thematic way to give the player a sense of realistic purpose.

Where Twilight Struggle differs is in casting players as ideologies rather than people. The event cards used to play the game represent historical events of the period: Arab-Israeli conflicts, Vietnam, the Olympic Games. They can benefit either side, or both, and can be played for their unique effects or for the number of operation points (which allow you to spread influence) specified in the top corner. When a player decides how, or whether, to play a card, they are forced to ask themselves things like ‘Will this benefit Communism?’, which, to be fair, is the question all of us should ask ourselves before doing anything.

Holding influence over the countries of the world yields players victory points. When 1989 rolls around and the Cold War ends, the superpower with the most VPs wins, thus validating their political system as ‘proper great’ forever, as history has shown.

The Publisher

Founded in 1990, GMT Games are based in California. They specialise in wargames that place players into historical scenarios.

The Designers

Ananda Gupta has only released one board game so far, and yet it was the top ranked board game of all time on BoardGameGeek from 2010 until the start of 2016. He has worked for ZeniMax and Firaxis.

Jason Matthews was Gupta’s playing partner when the latter playtested for GMT. Together, they decided that they had what it took to design a game themselves.

If you found the fall of the Berlin Wall to be a massive disappointment, relive the good old days and buy this game from Zatu!

Great quality pillows. Very difficult wrapping.
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
The Pillows are the real deal. Very fluffy but with good support. I was surprised by the weight of the box they came in, pretty heavy so you know there’s good quality pillows inside. The one negative is that the pillows are packed in very very tight plastic because they come compressed. But the thing is, it’s really a chore to open them. You have to be careful not to cut through the plastic to the material, but the plastic is put on so incredibly tight that it’s even hard to get your finger underneath. But I found a way to open them. Near the top, insert A very flat metal ruler as far in as you could get it. Then cut through the plastic that’s above the metal ruler. That prevents a sharp tool from damaging the pillows. As you get through the plastic above the ruler, keep pushing the ruler further down into the package. Believe me, this simplifies what could be a very difficult unpacking. I am very surprised that the company that makes them does not insert the type of opener that you find on boxes you receive in the mail or even packages that you get from the grocery store where you just pull a tab and that opens the package. These are really good pillows, but you must be very careful about using a sharp object when opening the box and when trying to cut through the plastic. I am a strong man and have the tools needed, a very flat metal ruler, and a box cutter, knife, or razor. Good luck. !!

These hold up very well
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I have NO luck with pillows. I’ve been in stores & tried them. They seemed ok there. At home, nope. I’ve been getting headaches & neck aches from lousy pillows. I’ll change one, a few nights relief. It doesn’t help that I’m prone to headaches. After reading about different pillows, I settled on these. The reviews were better than so many different ones I was looking at. Including high priced & brand names. I bought the standard size. When I saw, “Customers Usually Keep This”, I kept my fingers crossed. When I received them, I took one out of the package & put my head on it & thought, oh no! This is too hard! I tried it again. Ok….. I slept on it & haven’t had any pains since. It’s soft but firm enough to keep my head from sinking & messing up my neck. I don’t move. No more flipping my pillow over. My head doesn’t go below my neck anymore! This has been 2 months now, but it hasn’t changed at all. I wake up happy, not complaining. No more pains or headaches. This saved me from losing days with a heating pad or an ice pack. The price was excellent for 2 pillows. I can’t believe a blind buy was the answer! These are incredible. Finally, something worked for me.

Awesome Pillows!
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are super soft! I love them. I bought them when I caught a bad cold and needed to prop myself up. Worked so great! Definitely give these pillows a try. They're very reasonably priced too.

Comfortable, Hypoallergenic, and Great Value
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows are a solid upgrade for everyday sleep. They’re soft but still provide enough support for both back and stomach sleeping, and the down-alternative fill is perfect if you’re sensitive to allergens. The microfiber cover feels smooth and well-made, and they fluff up nicely after decompressing. Overall, a comfortable and affordable set that gets the job done.
