Description

An updated version of Z-Man's first board game. Players are one of the great 20th century ideologies (Capitalism, Fascism, Communism, Islamic Fundamentalism, and Imperialism) spreading their military, economic, and cultural influence to bring other countries over to their ideology. Each ideology has a special ability, and a special penalty. You can also buy advancements to affect your or your opponent's influence, including a weapon of mass destruction, which gives you a global influence unless used to remove influences. The icons and country images are graphically enhanced and the component quality is much better. Also included: variant rules and variant abilities for several of the ideologies.
