What is Crisis: 1914

Crisis: 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.

There 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.

Prestige is how you win. The player with the most Prestige at the end of the game is the winner.

Juego que simula las tensiones políticas y diplomáticas antes del inicio de la primera guerra mundial. Se desarrolla en seis rondas(semanas) y los jugadores van jugando cartas que elevan su nivel de presión diplomática, pero hay que tener cuidado con la tensión. Si un jugador tensiona demasiado puede provocar que otra nación se movilice para la guerra y pierde la partida. Es intersante. PEro hay que darle varias partidas. Es un poco farragoso de explicar.
