About Precipice
Precipice is a strategy game set during the Cold War. You play as either the United States or the Soviet Union, providing technical and economic assistance to guerrillas around the world who fight for your cause while avoiding direct, open confrontation with the other side.
Wield influence
Subterfuge is central to your strategy. You protect your closest allies and try to change unfavorable regimes without revealing your long-term ambitions. Each action risks an enemy reprisal, and if neither side backs down from a standoff, both lose. Resources from territories under your control can help resolve immediate crises or win over future allies.
Leaders and outcomes
World leaders from 72 countries appear as animals native to their regions, acting as pawns in a dangerous game of nuclear chicken. You can recreate history or chart a different course, including putting a bear on the moon. The goal is to win the Cold War without triggering nuclear annihilation.
Game modes
Precipice offers hotseat and online multiplayer, as well as play against an unpredictable AI that tries to understand and counter your strategy. Its gameplay is simple to pick up but difficult to master.
