The Struggle Is Real
Generally when someone in the board game community talks about a “thematic” game, there is a particular archetype they’re referring to–the science fiction or fantasy themed game with minis, elaborate artwork, and the promise of action, narrative, and adventure. Twilight Struggle does not look this kind of game. It’s set in the Cold War, has a functional but not flashy art design, and provides cardboard chits instead of plastic miniatures. However, Twilight Struggle is perhaps the most thematic game ever made.

Superb!
My mum bought me this for Christmas, I'd put off buying it for so long because of the price, but new board games do seem to be very expensive these days.

The game is beautiful, it's fun to play, the artwork is stunning, and all the pieces are of an excellent quality.

The game itself it won by scoring points by doing certain tasks, including collecting different species of birds, laying eggs, collecting food, and several other ways. The game is made up of 5 rounds I believe, and each round you use your tokens to complete actions. It's a very simple game, and great for the whole family!

If you're in Europe, I strongly suggest purchasing the European expansion, as in the base game quite a few of the birds are only found in North America, so the expansion brings it a bit closer to home :)

As I mentioned, the cost (approximately £45 for the base game, around £25 for the expansion), does let it down slightly, but it certainly feels worth every penny! The only thing that really disappoints me is the plastic containers included for storing different tokens and eggs. They aren't really necessary, and are bulkier than they need to be.

Excellent materials, back lit keyboard for gaming in the dark, good price, easy to install (wired) (0 more)
Great Heavy Duty Gaming Keyboard
I recently had a gaming base unit and decided I needed a decent gaming keyboard to go with it. I bought this not knowing what to expect as I had never heard of the name. Its very impressive and with the back lit keys makes it ideal for gaming. Metal throughout means its a lot more durable than most plastic ones. A good range of keys and simple user interface, comfortable wrist support too. All in all very good value and excellent quality.
