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…

It works really well. Think that it wont be for everyone due to both its semi coop nature and the rules overhead of new players coping with the base rules and the expansion rules all together but for people who love the base game and want that game expanded into something richer with more variety , multiplayer shenanigans and can cope with a bit more excitement... this is really excellent. Rumours of this making boardgamecore will make it matter a lot less whether or not I can get many face to face plays but this makes an already great game even better.

A very good addition to Wir Sind. Although it says 2+2, there can only be one winner. Each factions plays totally different and has different goals. Recommended to play only with experienced players, i.e. those who have played the base game at least once.

First impressions are positive. Played with 2 inexperienced WsdV players so it ended quite fast in decade 2.
