Cold War Board Games


Both Images (above) where found from Google Images

I found these images by chance while browsing the web for inspiration on ideas for this project, they are board games from the cold war era. Spying is the theme for both games. The game works using a series of cards and timers and point scoring, the first one to 100 points wins. What a interesting way to wrap this research into the cold war up into one tidy final product. The question is do I have the time to create a simple board game, the packaging and tie it into the meaning of hidden by next monday? Sounds like a challenge to me. Looking at the packaging, you can just tell that It's from the cold war, secret agents shown as heroes,  russian soldiers coming out of missile silos looking like the bad guys, It reminds me of the propaganda pieces I looked at earlier in the project.
