Twilight Struggle

I've recently played a couple of the really hot games that have been recently released.

Twilight Struggle:

A very good card driven game, I especially like the spread of communism or democracy flowing across the board, or cropping up in the middle of the other ideology due to historical events. The game seems to be balanced so that Russia comes out swinging, and then the US gets their turn to make up the damage.

Fury of Dracula:

Very pretty remake of an older game. It struck me as a very advanced form of scotland yard, and I thought that it was very thematic. There's battling with minions, the constant hunt to keep dracula at bay, or better yet hunt his ass down and drive a stake into him.

I like these games, and I'm glad I've got them.
