    "Crisis: 1914" is a clever #wargame exploring the six weeks leading up to the Great War. The five powers are jockeying for prestige and diplomatic pressure - while trying to avoid being the one that triggers the war. A great game of escalation management. 🎲

    Valiant Hearts: The Great War ✅ 20/20 🏆 I’m a history girlie so this game instantly caught my eye. Wasn’t expecting it to be a puzzles game, but I absolutely loved it. Tells a very powerful story that also shows the absolute horror that was World War 1. Literally sobbed at the ending. 🌹

    So as someone who last played this version of Civilization (just ... Civ, like how WWI was "The Great War" before WWII), does it seem like it'd be worth it to get the newest one? I loved the original, but I also need games that are easy to get into; not awash in learning-curve time these days...

    There is 'Kaiserpunk' (2025) which is kind of civ-city game with an ongoing Great War. There was also 'Iron Storm' (2002) in which the Great War is still running in 1946. More recently, 'Iron Harvest' (2020) which sees a war running on beyond 1920 but is in a very dieselpunk world.

    I love the tactical game engine, that came out with "Steam & Iron: The Great War at Sea," especially its command and control and fog of war system. I really do think it leans harder in to "simulation" than "game." And it generates an amazing amount of crunchy data.
