I have a much younger brother who is currently 16. I've been playing board games with him since he was little, and I'm always looking for games for 2 players.

Twilight Struggle has been on my list for a while, but since English isn't our mother tongue I didn't get a copy yet. However I think his English is now good enough to give it a try but I'm worried he might not enjoy it.

The Cold War was long over when he was born, and you can't expect a 16 year old to have done much history research beyond what they teach in school. So he won't be familiar with most of what happens in the game, which might be a bad thing.

So I want to ask what people who have played it think? Can someone with very

Around the 12th of April next year me and my brother will be on holiday in Sevilla, and while there we'd like to take in a Primera Division game. I looked up the calendar and noticed that Sevilla are playing Barcelona that weekend, which may make getting tickets harder? But is definitely an extra incentive to try to see the game. Anyway, I have a few questions which I was hoping you could help me with:

  • How would we go about getting tickets for that game?
  • How much will they cost?
  • When will the exact date and time of the game be announced?
  • What are the possible days and times the game could be played on?

Thanks in advance!

In the 80's a series of brutal robberies was committed by the so called Brabant killers in Belgium, the crimes are unsolved to this day although a few weeks ago an arrest was made. Over the course of a few years several people, including children, were killed during robberies of supermarkets for example. The violence used was disproportionate to the money stolen, often they even dumped the money right after the robbery. It is generally assumed that the money was not the primary reason for the robberies.

During the long investigation, one of the possible reasons given for the extremely violent robberies was a "stay behind" CIA operation, codename Gladio. Supposedly after WW2 the CIA organise

I have not pre-ordered the game yet because I have some doubts concerning paragon levels. I was wondering if people in the RoS beta could disprove or confirm my doubts.

My goal with this type of game is to be able to complete the highest difficulty level. I have limited game time available so I have no illusions about being the first, but I still like to get there at my own pace.

I leveled all classes to 60, and have accumulated about 100 paragon levels in total across all of them. Now I fear that the highest difficulty levels for RoS will require much more paragon levels than I have, as the designers will have catered them to those who have accumulated the most paragon levels.

Sure, I wi
