In World Crisis Simulator, between 3-6 players take on the role of major world powers combating a global issue. You'll take turns hosting summits and contributing (or not!) to helping solve the Earth's problems, all while trying to figure out what your purported allies' end goals are. The fate of the planet is at stake; will you rise to the occasion, or fall to petty infighting? Taking inspiration from the crisis mechanics of beloved board games Battlestar Galactica and Dead of Winter, World Crisis Simulator sees everyone at the table contributing to that round's summit, with each player having a chance to take the reigns and be the Summit Host. The host gets to decide if the summit is successful, bringing the Earth back to stability, or fails, making everyone's status ever more dire. While everyone in the game probably wants to get through this thing with humanity intact, players' secret objectives will inevitably interfere with them acting in the best interests of everyone else. Act too selfishly though, and other players will use their action cards to cripple your strategy, or even remove you from the game. —description from the publisher
