Fun and educational, great quality

My homeschool student and I enjoyed the gameplay and strategy required. The facts on each card are interesting, and I especially like that the images on the cards are photographs, not drawings. We will play this again and again!

Great holiday fun

Just started playing over the holiday break. Nothing like a few quick competitive rounds to spice up family meet ups.
Love the card design and artwork

Quick & Fun

The closest I have come to being a turn based card game enthusiast was ‘Top Trumps’ back in school. This takes that idea and adds the element of thermonuclear war to the mix.

I always base games on how much my children want to play them. Since arriving in a sturdy box after what seemed to be very quick delivery from Australia, my children and I have played roughly 10 games, my youngest (who is 11) is the most enthusiastic to ask me to play with him but it took him the longest to digest the rules. My eldest (who is 17) took to the game like a Soviet general in a vodka factory and has had it in college earlier this week for his gaming club where it went down a storm apparently.

I have the main base game and one of the expansion pack’s. It would be good if the included countries could be bought separately to build your own custom pack but I know this is probably not financially viable for the seller!!

Great fun for the whole family.

Just wow!

Let's start with how the cards arrived. I find a small brown box on my doorstep. Upon inspection it has some retro, cold-war era, postage stamps from Egypt, Paris, Soviet Union and Cuba. I'm impressed. Then upon opening, I'm impressed further with printed out news papers from 1954 featuring some very apt cold-war stories. Then the card game. The card quality is EXCELLENT. The feel and weight is perfect, and shows the quality and care put into the product. Presentation is A+. The game is fantastic and educational. The cold-war intrigues me, and through this game I have introduced family and friends into a world I have a deep interest for. Definitely getting the expansion set. Pro-tip, buy this game! Bravo!

A party favourite!

Reminiscent of my favourite parts of Monopoly Deal, poker, YuGiOh and Advance Wars on the Gameboy with a stunning retro 1960s style. So good!!
The quality and detail is next level!

Like a fun history lesson

Great fun game. Great to play with friends or family. As the name suggests doesn't take too long so you can play once or have a bunch of rounds.
Really love the imagery on the cards and the history that goes along with it. It's like a history lesson each time you play...But fun!

This Cold War game is on fire.

Super fun. Super addictive. And super educational in away you don’t even realize until you have finished hours of fun. Great for families, and alternatively great as game with adults. I don’t normally write reviews… but Genuinely Awesome.

Fun and educational

What a great way to learn about the Cold War! I managed to get my teenage sons involved and they thoroughly enjoyed it. The cards have amazing historical shots from Fidel Castro to Kennedy it is all there. It also tested our strategy skills. Highly recommend!

Fun strategy game

We had so much fun playing 15 min Cold War. The cards are beautifully designed and the game is so well thought out. Great for a quick after dinner game and definitely got our competitive juices flowing! This game has also definitely brushed up my Cold War facts, highly recommend!

Balmoral Games

In 2022 we launched 15 Minute Cold War and we have been overwhelmed with the response. We continue to ship games all around the world and the feedback has been outstanding!

Our game has found its way into schools in Asia, Museums in Europe, the highest reaches of Government in the United States and into the homes of games aficionados and history buffs in 5 continents.

In early 2025 we are launching our brand new game, Zama. Based on the ancient rivalry between Rome and Carthage, Zama pits the elephants of Hannibal against the Legions of the Roman Republic in a card/boardgame hybrid that is both stunningly beautiful and wonderfully engaging. The quality of Zama will blow you away.
