About the game

What you do in a play session

World Order (Extended Edition) is a global strategy game where you lead a superpower trying to dominate the world — not with tanks, but with diplomacy, economics, and smart cards. Each player has unique abilities: one’s a spy master, another an economic powerhouse, another a political influencer. The map covers the entire globe, and you use multi-use cards to move forces, build alliances, or sabotage rivals — all while managing a tight hand of resources. The deck, bag, and pool-building system evolves as you play, turning weak cards into a powerhouse engine. The Extended edition includes the Diplomacy & Dominance expansion, adding solo mode with Automas (AI opponents that mimic humans), secret objectives, and extra cards to make every game feel fresh. It’s a heavy 2–3 hour experience, but rewards those who love deep strategy, resource management, and thinking several moves ahead. If you’re into geopolitics, clever planning, and games that make your brain sweat, this is your next obsession.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

7 questions
How long does a game take?
Between 2 and 3 hours, depending on player count and strategy depth. Not a quick game — it’s a deep dive.
Can I play solo?
Yes! The Extended edition includes solo mode with Automas — AI opponents that mimic human players, and they’re surprisingly good.
Is it hard to learn?
It’s heavy, yes. Rules have layers, and cards do multiple things. But after one warm-up game, it all clicks into place.
Do I need friends to play?
Nope! The solo mode is so good, many players prefer it. But with 3 or 4 people, the tension and fun skyrocket.
What’s the difference between Extended and Deluxe?
Deluxe has nice metal coins and miniatures. Extended includes the Diplomacy & Dominance expansion — which is the core experience. Extended is the complete package.
Is it good for beginners?
Not really. This is for fans of Twilight Struggle, Terraforming Mars, or Clue: The Great Detective. If you love deep, complex strategy, you’ll adore it.
Are there planned expansions?
No official ones announced yet, but since the game was built with expansions in mind, more are very likely — especially if the community asks.
