An 88 score from 436 devoted raters — the math of a game with a real following. Slow-burn strategy: fantasy, science fiction, tough calls, and the sweet pain of one more turn. The story is the main course; the multiplayer is the reason it's still installed years later. A 2000 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.

However, Einstein stopped one evil only to create another - because Stalin's Soviet Union is now poised to conquer Europe... and Allies must stop them!
