Where once there stood many great powers, there then stood only two. The world had scant months to sigh its collective relief before a new conflict threatened. Unlike the titanic struggles of the preceding decades, this conflict would be waged not primarily by soldiers and tanks, but by spies and politicians, scientists and intellectuals, artists and traitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwilight Struggle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a two-player game simulating the forty-five year dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional flares of warfare between the Soviet Union and the United States.

The game map is a world map of the period, whereon players move units and exert influence in attempts to gain allies and control for their superpower.
