Twilight Struggle: A Deluxe Review

Anyone who pays much attention to my articles will be well aware that Twilight Struggle is about my favourite game to play in the whole world. Indeed I believe I happened to mention this last week. So it should come as no great surprise that I leaped on the deluxe version like a starving vegetarian grabbing a handful of lentils. Having now played a few games with the extra cards - and indeed having played many games in the past with a variety of balancing mechanics - I thought it might be worth writing a review. But here’s the rub - I’ve reviewed this game in the past, and since the changes aren’t that substantial I’m going to be really lazy and re-use a lot of my previous work in this review. Hopefully you either haven’t read it, or you’ve blanked it from your mind, or you’ve drunk enough moonshine in the intervening couple of years to destroy your long term memory.
