US and THEM, developed by Icehole Games and published by Conglomerate 5, is a turn-based Cold War strategy game that shifts the focus of conflict away from open warfare and into the quieter, more intricate world of espionage, influence, and ideological control. Rather than commanding armies or engaging in direct battles, players take on the role of either the CIA or the KGB, competing for global dominance through subtle manipulation and long-term planning.

This is a game of cold war spys trying to take over the world from the other side. Though it is very simple, it is not easy to know what to do and how to do it. It starts in 1965, yet they have odd regime choices. They have, for example, Angola and Afghanistan among others socialist. They were not socialist until after 1975. As the US, I was in an ever worsening deficit with no descernable way to influence it. I used auto placement of my spies, but then could never find where they went. After 3 or 4 months the world was quickly turning 'red'. So, it was an exercise in frustration. 25/100

It's like someone at Paint made this game. Visually, rejection causes
