{"product_id":"crisis-1914","title":"Crisis: 1914","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrisis: 1914 is a game of international brinkmanship - if you back down too soon, you lose. If you back down too late you lose.  But you  have hawks and doves in your cabinet and in your government, and out of these conflicting views you must somehow formulate a coherent response to the crisis to win the day and prevent war.\n\nThere are 3 interrelated concepts at the heart of Crisis: 1914: Prestige, Tension, and Diplomatic Pressure (DP). Diplomatic Pressure (DP) is how you score Prestige. Tension is how you lose. Every card has a DP value. You apply DP by playing cards.  The player with the most Diplomatic Pressure at the end of a turn earns Prestige points. There are other ways of scoring Prestige points too, but this is the most important one.\n\nPrestige is how you win. The player with the most Prestige at the end of the game is the winner.\n\nCards drive the game.  Card types that affect the game are: \n\n    Assertion Cards- which uses your nation's power to increases your Prestige\n    Consensus and National Interests Cards- these allow your nation to play more cards\n    Diplomatic Back-Channel Cards - these let you increase DP without increasing Tension\n    Caution Cards - allow more cards to be drawn\n\n\nIn addition, some cards have recurring effects on Momentum, which stops players from performing certain actions and Reduce Tension which lets you lower Tension in your country.\n\nIncludes rules for solitaire play.\n\n—description from the publisher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.33 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maurice Suckling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Worthington Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925061894360,"sku":"SB-2FE394E98743-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/9nqi66av9ruse0k65zq3ze1joq9h.png?v=1785458072","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/crisis-1914","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
