If you back down too late you lose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut you also 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for 1 to 5 players with a solitaire engine, and playable in under 2 hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are 3 interrelated concepts at the heart of Crisis: 1914: Prestige, Tension, and Diplomatic Pressure (DP).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrestige is how you win. The player with the most Prestige at the end of the game is the winner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiplomatic Pressure (DP) is how you score Prestige. Every card has a DP value. You apply DP by playing cards.  The player with the most Prestige 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTension is how you lose. If you end a turn in the red zone on the Score Track you are also creating Tension for your opponents which reflects how close you are to provoking them into mobilizing for war. If you provoke them too far war starts and you lose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCards drive the game.  There are various card types that affect the game as follows:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAssertion Cards- which uses your nation's power to increases your Prestige\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsensus and National Interests  Cards- these allow your nation to play more cards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiplomatic Back-Channel Cards  - these let you increase DP without increasing Tension\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaution Cards - allow more cards to be drawn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Worthington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42703793127475,"sku":"42703793127475","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/files\/pic8232515.png?v=1728337745","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/crisis-1914","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
