Cataclysm: A Second World War*
The 1930s is a time of recovery from the Great War and the subsequent Great Depression. A second world war could erupt at any moment. Players lead nations and must devise diplomatic strategies and build military strength to either prevent or engage in conflict.
This game diverges from traditional WWII themes, starting in 1933 and focusing on global dynamics. Military units lack numerical values, with combat outcomes determined by dice rolls. Players can explore various strategies, such as the Soviets building a bomber force or Japan deploying tanks in Siberia, and ultimately create their own narrative of a second world war.
