QUARTERMASTER GENERAL: THE COLD WAR (PSC Games/Griggling Games, 3 to 6 players, ages 14 and up, 120 minutes; $65.80)
The idea behind all the Quartermaster General games is Napoleon’s maxim that “an army marches on its stomach”. Supply lines are key and players are trying to cut off their opponents’ supply as much as attack their forces directly. Another common element is that the games are card-driven. There’s a separate deck for each side (or part of a side – the original Quartermaster General (Summer 2015 GA Report) is for up to six players in two teams re-fighting the Second World War) and managing your cards is important – running out is bad news, so forcing an opponent to discard cards is a useful tactic.
