New World Order 2035

The game that Watch the Skies nearly was, New World Order is less science-fiction and more speculative geopolitical simulation. In a world undergoing major shifts in the balance of power, players must lead their nation into the future, ensuring the wellbeing of their citizens - or at least, the stability of their own regime. Despite the lack of science fiction elements, the game gives players scope for interesting and creative play, and the runs that have occurred have all ended very differently.
