Hey everyone! Ready to bring order to the world... or make things even messier? World Order: World in Turmoil is that expansion that throws you right into the hottest events that have happened since 2010. You know all that drama with Ukraine? Brexit that turned the world upside down? Or how the pandemic tied the global economy in knots? Yep, it's all here! You won't just see how these events impacted international relations, but you'll also get the chance to get your hands dirty and try to change the course of history. Will you manage to prevent chaos, or will you end up writing a new chapter of disaster? The game challenges you to revisit crucial moments, understand the consequences, and maybe even rewrite the past (or at least try!). With mechanics that involve everything from building your deck and managing your hand to competing for areas and using unique national powers, this expansion promises to bring top-tier strategic and thematic depth. It's for those who enjoy thinking, planning, and, of course, watching the world burn (or be saved, who knows!). If you like games with a more serious vibe that make you reflect on the real world while playing, this expansion is a feast. Prepare for heated debates and tough decisions that will shape the planet's destiny on your board. It's the kind of game that makes you feel like a true global strategist, with the weight of the world in your hands. Let's go try to save the planet or just cause more trouble?

Do I need the base game World Order to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need to own the base game World Order to use all the content and rules of World in Turmoil.
What is the game more focused on? Politics, economy, or history?
It mixes all of them! The expansion uses real historical events to create political and economic scenarios, so you'll get a dose of each, with the strategy of influencing the outcome.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
The expansion adds events and new strategic layers, so yes, the complexity tends to increase a bit. It's recommended for those already familiar with the base game and who enjoy bigger challenges.
How long does a game session last with this expansion?
Game sessions remain long, in the range of 120 to 180 minutes, depending on the number of players and your familiarity with the new mechanics and events.
Do I need to know English to play?
Yes, Ludopedia indicates 'High Language Dependency'. You'll need an almost complete translation to fully enjoy the game, as the events and cards have a lot of text.
Is it a good game for someone who wants to learn about recent history?
It can be a great tool! It covers important events since 2010 in an interactive and strategic way. Of course, it's a game, but it can spark interest and give a good sense of the impact of these events.
