Us and Them -- Cold War

[Philippe]

I just picked this up on sale at Gamersgate for $1.  It's a global treatment of the CIA vs. the KGB in the sixties. 

Can't tell if it's any good or not yet, but at that price...

It feels like a board game ported to computer, has multiplayer and AI, and might be amusing.  It's not big on eye candy, but the graphics are amusing.

I'm just reading the rules, and so far I like what I see.

I have never played Twilight Struggle, but this seems related.

The sale will go on for about six or seven more hours, and you get a Steam key (Steam is selling it for about $10).

50 minutes left and an account full of blue coins. No-brainer.

$1 for a Cold War board game?  Sold.

I had just enough blue coins myself to cover it.  O0

Word on the street is that it is garbage.

Has anyone found a way to get it to run full screen other than manually reducing your resolution?  F2 (windowed mode) doesn't seem to work, and I hate playing games in small windows.

This.

My impression was of a 2-sided game of Whack-A-Mole.

Had high hopes when I first saw it.  Maybe the digital version of Twilight Struggle will finally be finished soon, for a real Cold War board game port.
