Supremacy 2020

After the cold war, boom years and the great recession, new superpowers emerge to contest the old. In Supremacy 2020, six superpowers battle for global supremacy in a tense yet simple game of nuclear brinksmanship. Players compete in international trade for vital resources: minerals, oil and grain. Speculate and trade commodities on the world market. A strong economy fuels the arms race as you build armies, navies, nukes and a "star-wars" defense system. Borrow money from the world bank or invest in bonds to increase your income. Don't borrow too much or the crushing interest will bankrupt you! As conflicts and nuclear arsenals grow, the world becomes a much more dangerous place. A nuclear strike may vanquish an enemy, but will the retaliation trigger a nuclear winter destroying the world? To win, you'll need a delicate balance of diplomacy, economic and military strength. You must form alliances, negotiate, threaten and bluff. Many strategies can lead to victory – but only one superpower will achieve supremacy. This redesign of the classic cold war game Supremacy has an updated map and currency for the 21st century, along with corrected and streamlined rules to make the game faster, simpler and more intense.
