At 3:54 you said that "whoever caused the DEFCON track to go to 1 loses....". Not completely accurate. More correct is whoever the Phasing player is when the DEFCON track goes to 1 loses. There are certain card plays you can do to start nuclear war during your opponent's card play. Therefore, YOU can cause the war but it's your opponent who loses. :)
Great job! My husband was interested in picking up this game, and I was less than excited until we watched your review. Looks like I don't need to lose a bet to give this a try now! Thanks for the great review!
Thank you! If you enjoy playing games with your husband at all, you will both definitely enjoy playing this together. It's a really good date. Additionally, they just closed successful funding on a Kickstarter for a digital edition yesterday. So if you end up enjoying it, it will also be available for Android and iOS devices at some point in the future, so you can take the game wherever you go. Happy gaming!
Wow, that's a beautifully wrtten quote to open the review; it's also a heavy helping of political bullshit by our beloved philandering shill. First time viewer here; I love you guys, despite the boring view of the board for nearly the whole 20 minutes. This is probably the best game I'll never play. As foreshadowed, politics and world governments are absolutely abhorrent to me; if you don't share my view, just imagine playing a game about rapists and child abusers planning their weekend and you'll know how I feel. Let me know when they retheme it as "Middle-Earth Struggle" or something and I'll place my order that very day. Anyway, thank you for sharing your passionate interest in our hobby; I'll definitely be checking back for more of your charismatic insight.

True!
My compliments for your videos. I like the relaxed style in which you discuss and review the game!

It has sold 100,000 copies. Top game at GMT must be a reason!
An other very interesting video, thank you.
You're rolling dice on a board full of chits!!! You live dangerously
Nice job! It's a wonderful game.
Thank you! yes it is. I also recently acquired 1989, so we're excited to compare & contrast the two.
Well, this just became relevant again...

So, according boardgamegeek... this is the best game?
Raffaele Passarelli Yes.
It is two player only and does require focus but all said in it's genre it is no 1.
Not without reason for me.
Must be some reason it has sold 100,000 copies?
