Played Twilight Struggle today.
I played the USSR and won T5. We Will Bury You, but then countered with Duck and Cover to survive. Then Arms Race and the US was done. USSR scored big on SE Asia. US needed to score Asia later this turn and that would’ve been bad for them.

Disaster! Honecker not able to afford massively increased living standards, running down all industry, making living standards unsustainable. The country collapsed like a hollow pie shell at the end of the 1970s. At least the Bavarians stayed consistently unhappy. Victory to the BRD. #boardgames

Made it through the 1960s as well. The people in Sachsen-Anhalt are very unhappy and Bavaria has a gripe as well. East Germany managed to fund their increased living standards almost successfully and did not built the Berlin wall. #boardgames

The living standards in Niedersachsen were too high triggering mass protests across the country causing the collapse of West Germany at the end of the 1950s. Oops.

Did you know that every time you say cookie, boss, yacht or even dollar… you’re actually speaking Dutch? 🇳🇱 The Dutch Golden Age wasn’t just about ships, trade, and colonies—it also left a lasting impact on the English language.
