Imperial Struggle

"What I gained be being in France was learning to be better satisfied with my own country."- Samuel Johnson"England has forty-two religions and only two sauces."- VoltaireIn 1697 the Sun King Louis XIV, emerged from a decade of war with his Continental ambitions still unsatisfied. Meanwhile, King William III of England sat easier on his new throne than he ever had before. But neither France nor England could have anticipated the tumult of the years to come, in which these two tenacious adversaries would compete fiercely and proudly along every axis of human achievement. On battlefields from India to Canada to the Caribbean Sea their armies and fleets would clash; in the salons of Paris and the coffee-houses of London the modern world's politics and economics would be born.Imperial Struggle is a two-player game depicting the 18th-century rivalry between France and Britain. It begins in 1697, as the two realms wait warily for the King of Spain to name an heir, and ends in 1789 when a new order brought down the Bastille. Battlefield success will only go so far; to triumph, players must also build the foundations of colonial wealth and deal with the other nations of Europe.Imperial Struggle covers almost 100 years of history and four major wars. It aims to honour its spiritual ancestor, Twilight Struggle, by pushing the direction of simple rules and playable systems, while maintaining global scope and historical sweep in a single evening. During Peace Turns, players build economic interests and alliances, and take advantage of historical events represented by Event cards. They must choose investments wisely, and deny them to their opponent. During War Turns, each theatre can bring great rewards of conquest and prestige.... but territorial gains can disappear at the treaty table. At the end of the century, will the British rule an empire on which the sun never sets? Or will France light the way for the world, as the superpower of the Sun King's dreams or the republic of Lafayette's?Game Contents:1 mapboard1 rulebook1 playbook2 playmats1 Investment Tile Display2 double-sided War Displays2 player aids4 countersheets41 Event cards26 Ministry cards

Labyrinth: Forever War, 2015 - ?

On June 29, 2014, ISIL proclaimed a worldwide caliphate based on an Islamic State carved out of swaths of Iraq and Syria, with its capital city in Ar-Raqqah, Syria. Its forces moved forward quickly, capturing Mosul and threatening Baghdad and key areas of Syria. The Caliphate reached its territorial high water mark in late 2015. The Obama Doctrine called for local allies to bear the brunt of the fighting after being trained and organized by US Forces, and supported by an extra-heavy dose of Allied Air Power. Would this slow but methodical approach reclaim the recently lost territory or would the Jihadist Juggernaught continue its unstoppable advance?A year later, on January 20, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. It did not take long for him to exert his brand of leadership on the national and world stage. Immediate efforts were made to secure US borders from both illegal immigration and access by terrorists. Trump also followed the previous policies of the Obama administration to dismantle ISIL primarily from the air, with focused operations by Special Forces to lead regional allies in rolling back the Caliphate. ISIL was effectively disenfranchised as a land-holding power by November 2017. Trump did distance himself from Obama by pledging to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal, which he accomplished on May 8, 2018, much to the dismay of his European allies. International tensions played out in Asia as well with both North Korea and China requiring lengthy negotiations. Europe displayed an autonomy of action that frequently misaligned with US interests. And then there was Russia, who played their game both face-to- face and online! Now it's your turn to be the President. Can you use the machinery of state to achieve better results than "the Donald", or will you be distracted in your pursuit of US prestige and international security by numerous global and domestic adversaries?Labyrinth: The Forever War, 2015 - ? is a 1-2 player card-driven boardgame simulating at the strategic level the ongoing bid by Islamist extremists to impose their brand of religious rule on the Muslim world. It continues where Labyrinth: The Awakening, 2010 - ? left off and adds new event cards and rules to cover the last five years of history. Since publication of Labyrinth and its first expansion, fans of the game have expressed a desire to update it based on more recent events, and a variety of event card ideas and variants have been freely shared online. This second expansion to the Labyrinth game series fulfils that continuing interest by providing up-to-date event cards and allows the game to continue to serve as an effective strategic level model of the ongoing struggles in the Muslim world.Labyrinth: The Forever War, 2015 - ? uses the exact same rules, victory conditions, map, components, and charts as its predecessor game and expansion. Ownership of Labyrinth and Labyrinth: The Awakening, 2010 - ? is required for play. Much has happened in the Muslim World since the end of the Labyrinth: Awakening event deck (roughly 2015), with a number of sub-themes across the globe that give rise to a new narrative that has been playing out over the last five years; these include:Growth and then Collapse of the physical Islamic State CaliphateIncreased Iranian/Saudi Arabian Rivalry and Proxy WarGovernment Repression of Expression (Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc.)Increased Women's Rights Activism across the regionIncreased Russian and other International involvement in the Middle EastIncredible violence outside the Middle East from ISIL and others across Europe, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and elsewhereImpact of President Donald Trump and his personality on US Foreign PolicyContinued activity of African JihadistsPlight of International RefugeesEmerging Main-Power Rivalry between the US, Russia, China, EU and the UKUS ceding some degree of autonomy in portions of the globe in exchange for greater regional security. Except for the first item on this list, none of these have been fully resolved, though some have made movements in one direction or the other. Labyrinth: Forever War is designed to explore each of the above issues as part of the larger conflict between the West and Jihadist elements, which continues to this day, even if at a lower intensity than seen in the previous 15 years.During the time from covered by the Labyrinth: The Forever War expansion (2015-to present), much has transpired: the physical Islamic State has collapsed, and no new nations have fallen into Civil War. Governance has improved in other areas too, with both Syria and Nigeria in the process of stabilizing, though the conflicts in Yemen and Libya still are unresolved and the former is growing to replace Syria as the country with the current greatest threat to the human condition within its borders. Forever War will explore all of the above in a competitive political-military simulation, and as a current events game, perhaps help each of us understand the ongoing and evolving global rivalries in a better light.COMPONENTS:Combined Rules of Play and Play Book120 Event Cards3 Double-sided 8 x 11 Card Stock Reference Cards (1 side for updated tables and 5 sides for Bot charts)13 new markers (16 Events (3 double-sided)) 9/16 of an inch and 1 larger 9/16 x 1.5 inch counterLarge, Game Expansion style Zip-lock bag in-lieu of box
