Set up your group for freeDesigned by Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews, Twilight Struggle is the two-player Cold War card-driven strategy game that held the BoardGameGeek number one spot from 2010 to 2016 and still sits comfortably inside the all-time top 20. It is now a double hall-of-famer too, picking up a GAMA Hall of Fame nod in 2024 and a BoardGameGeek Hall of Fame induction in early 2025. This anniversary edition leans hard into that legacy.
The headline addition is a brand new double-sided map. Terry Leeds has produced a fresh design for the front face, while Mark Simonitch's classic Deluxe Edition map sits on the reverse so purists can keep playing on the version they know. The box also bundles every Turn Zero and Alternative Space Race variant the game has gathered, plus a new alt-history scenario called Red Sun Rising with its own additional cards. As a cherry on top, GMT is including the complete Kickstarter Promo Pack collection alongside foreign-edition promo cards, plus a designer retrospective booklet looking back over twenty years of Cold War standoffs.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksFor UK wargamers, this is the version worth waiting for. The Deluxe Edition has been quietly slipping out of stock at most retailers, and the 20th Anniversary box looks like it will be the keepsake printing for years to come. If your group has a player who has been chasing the elusive promo cards through eBay listings, this is the easiest way to scoop them all in one tidy box.
