The Cold War as a game
Loans from the German Games Archive in Nuremberg
The Cold War shaped all areas of people's lives - work, leisure and everyday life. It is therefore not surprising that during this time numerous board games on various thematic aspects of the Cold War were created, with which the system conflict found its way into the living rooms at home and was made into a "harmless" parlor game for the whole family.
