Description from the box:
2+2 is a four-player expansion to the award-winning Wir sind das Volk! that broadens the original game to the global Cold War from 1945 to 1989. Players form two partnerships: the USA and West Germany versus the USSR and East Germany. However, there can be only ONE winner! This fact makes every decision a nail-biter: What is more important right now? Your side’s interests or your own?
The forty new action cards add events like the Cuban Missile Crisis and the SALT treaties. The range of strategic choices is significantly wider, making 2+2 a completely different game. As a superpower, you want to gain global dominance, win the space race, and increase your living standards to demonstrate the superiority of your system. Never let the other side get too far ahead in the arms race. Subtly manipulate your partner’s choices, but don’t hesitate to sabotage their plans outright if necessary. Most importantly, always remember the need for world peace, for otherwise there might be no tomorrow…

An excellent game turned into an epic one. The sole play I had with this expansion is among the best gaming experience I had. To enjoy fully, I would recommend all players to have at least one play with the base game. A good understanding of the end of decade mechanic is important. I believe it is not something most can fully grasp by just reading the rules and/or watching a tutorial. It requires hands-on experience.

A good expansion. Gives the game some wider longevity. My guess Histogame always planned a 4 player but for marketing and business reasons went with Wir Sind Das Volk. Nice expansion though. Deutschland 83 and Deutschland 86 are good showstopper watch to get the vibe.

Wow. I don't know how they did it, but they turned one of my favorite two player games into a really really good four player game.
