World Order: World in Turmoil

History doesn't repeat itself — but it does rhyme. World in Turmoil is an expansion for World Order: The Ultimate Geopolitical Simulator that brings the game into the modern era, introducing real-world events from 2010 onwards and letting players experience, influence, and potentially rewrite the course of recent history.

Brexit, the tensions in Ukraine, the global pandemic — each event arrives as a card that reshapes the geopolitical landscape, triggering consequences that ripple across economies, alliances, and power balances. Players must decide whether to let history unfold or intervene, adding a layer of narrative tension that makes every game feel grounded and immediate.

The expansion adds an Events board, 60 Event cards, Effect cards, Bid cards, new Country cards, and 50 wooden cubes across five colours — a substantial injection of content that meaningfully extends the base game's strategic depth.

What's good?

• Real-world events from 2010 onwards add narrative weight and historical context
• Players can intervene to change the outcome of major global events
• 60 Event cards ensure high replayability and varied game states
• New Events board integrates cleanly with the base game's systems
• 50 wooden cubes in 5 colours add tactile variety to the table
