## Description
Get ready for a new Cold War with Europe Divided! This game puts you in command of two powers on a European map simmering with political and military tensions. On one side, Europe, represented by the EU and NATO, rich and influential but with the agility of a bull in a china shop. On the other, Russia, leaner in resources but with the speed and audacity of a predator ready to strike. The goal? Dominate influence in key countries in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus, while also bringing historical events to fruition. The gameplay is brisk, driven by cards that dictate your actions, allowing you to exert political and military influence, secure resources, and position your troops. But beware! As you expand your power, your deck of cards weakens, creating a constant dilemma between ambition and the risk of overreaching. Can you rewrite history and decide the fate of nations during this turbulent period? Europe Divided is a tense and thematic game, perfect for those who enjoy geopolitical conflicts with a dash of deck-building and plenty of strategic decision-making.
