	Description Edit \| History

World War II has left the world in upheaval, and many nations' futures are filled with uncertainty. The USA and the USSR are the only Superpowers who can lead the world toward a better future.

Cold War: CIA vs. KGB puts you in charge of a spy network during the post-war era. Your purpose: to "persuade" foreign governments to embrace the "proper" ideology, by any means necessary. Manipulate local factions of influence to get your coup d'etat up and running. Double-cross and eliminate your opponent's leaders. Gain prestige for your side by winning the Space Race, dominating the Olympic Games, or ensuring that one of your countrymen wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

In this decades-long conflict, victory will go to the side with the resources, conviction, and commitment necessary to ensure that their world view shapes the future.

Jeux sur un Plateau (turn-based)

Sign up for an account, then log in. Then click the British flag for a minor amount of English. Choose new games, choose Guerre Froid... and then when someone else comes along, it should start. The game is still in French, but if you read over the rules then it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Game phase quick reference

This is a reworking of Steamrunner's quick reference sheets, with what I think is improved legibility. Made for printing on A4 sheets, I'd recommend printing on cardstock and cutting out.
