Wir sind das Volk!: Combined Edition

What is Wir sind das Volk!: Combined Edition

1949: Germany, still in ruins from WWII, is split in two, as the Iron Curtain of the Cold War descends. East Germany and West Germany become bitter rivals, each wanting to show its system is superior. Which will reconstruct quicker? Which will make its people happier?

This combined edition brings two games in one box: The award winning "Wir sind das Volk!" and the 4-player expansion "2+2".

In "Wir sind das Volk!" you take the role of East or West Germany. Use your action cards wisely. Build up your economy and increase the living standards of your people. Precise planning is the key to victory. But be careful! Even the best plans may be derailed by events like the 1973 Oil Crisis or the Monday demos. Mass protests, that may seal your fate, are always on the horizon.

With "2+2" the USA and the Soviet Union enter the game. Players form two partnerships — but there can only be ONE winner! Therefore every decision is a nail-biter: What is more important right now? Your side's interests or your own?
