Labyrinth: The War on Terror
From the award-winning designer and ex-CIA intelligence analyst Volko Ruhnke, Labyrinth: The War on Terror combines an emphasis on game play with a multifaceted simulation spanning recent history and the near future.

Key Features:
• Card Driven Mechanics – 120 event cards provide never ending combinations. The outcomes vary per round and take great effect on the flow of the conflict.
• Asynchronous Online Multiplayer – T

Have you played GMT’s Fort Sumter: The Secession Crisis on Steam? It’s kind of like a shortened and over simplified version of Labyrinth/Twilight Struggle.

I do have a question. I’ve sent troops into Afghanistan and started a regime change. I then changed the status of the country to an Ally, but then a Card play turns the region back into Islamist rule. How do you get a regime change marker again?

It’s really easy as the counter terror player. You just need to hold on till you get the Trump card and the terrorist are wiped out in like...45 minutes.

I have to laugh a little. You start off saying it's not like Twilight Struggle, then explain how it's just like Twilight Struggle. Lol.
Love the playthrough and the video. New subscriber.

Hi, I just picked up this game, looks good 😎
@Giannis_Krimitzas
Thanks for the video. I have two questions. 1) At the starting screen there is a 'Bot difficulty' option. What is this since the game uses a flow chart for the AI? 2) What is the difference between deck count runs? Of course there would be longer games but do the map get more populated? If you have more deck runs, is the better player more likely to win?
@st0ox
I was really looking forward to see you playing this game.

Never heard of this game, but would I miss a chance to see Wes play it? Hell No! (Also, if you enjoy Strategy Games I'd recommend Hearts of Iron 4 or Stellaris. They're not card games, but their still fun as hell.)
