Mark613Some Excellent game for adults who want a complex game about modern history. The complexity is about at the level of Age of Steam - so it's not at all for younger kids. But it's hard to imagine even most teenagers wanting to play this. However, if you have a teen who is willing to try it, I recommend this game highly. It is very educational about the Cold War. You play either the US or the Soviet Union, and it gives you a great feel the global dynamics of the Cold War period, as well as teaching about the major events of the time. More an area-control game than a war game. The rulebook is fairly short for an adult-type war game, about 11 pages of actual rules.
Thommy8514Yes  
ed95005412Yes Great game for adults, but lacking the fun factor for kids.
The Unbeliever414Yes Only for kids who enjoy area control games, and who are interested in the history.
Gecko23314Some I'd say that given an older child, with an active interest in the cold war period, this might get played. Otherwise not a chance.
guantanamo313Yes  
robingoblin314Yes Great game, just not for kids. By 15/16 it would start to work.
