About This App

"Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are – but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle..."
– President John F. Kennedy

HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Twilight Struggle puts the player at the center of the Cold War, the political and economic struggle between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R that spanned 5 decades from the 1950's to the 1990's. Designed by award winning creators Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, players control one of the two modern superpowers, as they work to spread their dominance throughout the world via political influence and coup attempts. But if either side triggers nuclear war, it's game over!

CARD BASED EVENTS
The event cards in the game are based on actual historical events from the Cold War era. Through the playing of these events, players exert their superpower's influence as they attempt to gain allies and regional control of the globe. From the early days of De-Stalinization, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War and beyond, players are immersed in the actual events of the struggle between these two nations to be the dominant superpower in the world!

IMMERSIVE STRATEGY
Hone your skill and strategy as a world leader against an A.I. opponent, and then take your game global with matches against other players via asynchronous online game play.

★★★☆☆

literally every time i play the Event "Captured Nazi Scientist", the game breaks and gets stuck on "Waiting for Opponent to make decision", despite the fact that there's no decision to be made. Otherwise it's a functional enough port of the PC game, but the handful of game breaking bugs keeps it from being anything higher than 3*.

Pretty good app. The game seems to be a strong war themed game. I've had minimal play so far as the tutorial is broken. I was on an airplane flight trying to learn the game and every time the AI took over Libya in the game, it froze. I waited, clicked every where nothing. I figured I'd learned the main things and could try to figure out the rest in play. So now that I've landed, I still need to look up a few rules. I think reinforcements? with late game things was not covered.

This is probably the best war themed board game that I played. From the strategic standpoint, it's a nice hand management game where you play a card's event or use its point value to perform a different action such as placing influence in a country. Of course, each event is based off of one from the cold war's history. So prepare to learn more about the cold war as you play.

Respectable digital version of a fantastic board game. Lots of reviewers bark about major glitches, routine instability (crashes), and rulebook violations built into the programming of the app... I have played close to 1,000 online multiplayer games of TS in the Steam version of this app on PC, and several dozen games in this app on my Samsung Galaxy S22. I have basically never had a serious issue in all that time.
