Fate of the World: Tipping Point
Written on May 16th, 2019
This has been a guilty pleasure of mine for years. I’ve played it on and off, and since it’s turn based sometimes I can even play it while working on projects. You take control of the GEO and do your best to fix the world from an impending environmental disaster. It has so many factors that it’s insane to juggle them all, but that’s what makes the game fun. It’s one of those games where it’s good to watch guides or read a guide to get the most out of it, and if you’re okay with that you’ll have a great time. You can still mess around with it yourself and see what works, but there are many little sub factors to the game that have to be just ‘tried out’ sometimes. We don’t all have the time for that so guides are a godsend here.

Fate of the World is a one-of-a-kind educational game that asks the question: what would you do if you were an immortal, all-powerful dictator whose primary mission is to stop global warming?
Your resources are limited. Do you focus on reducing emissions as quickly as possible, or do you start by building infrastructure to adapt the world for a changing climate? Which technologies will you invest in? Do you horde the world’s resources for the developed world, or do you impose extra taxes on the developed world while investing heavily in education, infrastructure, and medicine for the developing world? The game even allows you to consider the darkest of options to deal with overpopulation, such as poisoning people to make them infertile, or introducing a man-made virus to kill off the population directly. It’s not a one-dimensional game – there are a number of different strategies and technologies you can apply to win.

Card game with simple mechanics where you have to choose one path or another, not much of branching here. Anyway it is enjoyable, especially for the price author asking for it. It also could be a lot of fun playing with friends and family.
I would love to see author adding more randomness and third-party(nature?) playing against you or more challenging events when player progresses into the game, to make things worse.

Twilight Struggle
I’m coming up to 1000 hours of online play over a twelve month period. Despite the lack of support from Playdek, this is a great game well worth buying. Hands down, one of the best strategy games ever released.
This is an excellent port of the boardgame and is the better alternative for frequent play. I save my hard copy for special occassions because this is just so convenient. Set up and play are a snap. AN entire game can run in just under an hour. Even better, it functions well on tablets so you can play in bed or generally while relaxing. Much better than being stuck in front of a desk or laptop.

I’m going to write two reviews, one for fans of the board game of which this is an adaptation, and one for people who have no experience with TS at all.
If you have never played TS before, I highly recommend you play against a human opponent (preferably one who is a competent player) before you try going up against the AI. You’ll have a few moments of fun, for sure, and if that’s all you’re looking for you would probably get a better value for your money elsewhere. But in the process of having that fun against the AI, you’ll learn all kinds of bad habits which, ultimately, will make you a worse TS player. I recommend definitely should NOT buy this game UNLESS you have a friend to play against, but if you do, then I think you SHOULD consider buying it.

Do you love social deduction games like Mafia, Werewolf, The Resistance and Secret Hitler? We do too! But we noticed some shortcomings in the genre. They are sometimes hard to set up and inconvenient to play. Some games need too much room or a big table, some require a moderator with godlike precision, some require to close your eyes for minutes, and quite often the game is ruined because someone forgot to do their part correctly or a newbie player asked the wrong question and revealed their secret. We have built Republic of Jungle to address to these issues and distill the fun of social deduction games into a more enjoyable and convenient experience. Inspired by Jackbox Games, we have built a platform where players can use their smartphones (or any device with a browser) to play the game. This way, the game does all the moderation for you, guides the players throughout the game and adds a fun narrative on top. More importantly, we have unique mechanics specific to this platform because they are almost impossible to implement in a traditional tabletop setting.
