	The Great Game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Game is a term, usually attributed to Arthur Conolly, used to describe the rivalry and strategic conflict between the British Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire for supremacy in Central Asia.
		The classic Great Game period is generally regarded as running from approximately 1813 to the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907.
		This period is sometimes referred to as "The New Great Game" by commentators, and there are references in the military, security and diplomatic communities to "The Great Game" as an analogy or framework for events involving India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and more recently, the post-Soviet republics of Central Asia.

		The outcome is a card game that feels a lot like a board game, which may in fact be the acid test of a good or bad 'card' game.
		Although the early and middle game are good fun and tend to be close and exciting, the end game can sometimes include a strong leader and it becomes a procession unless one of the nasty event cards comes up at the right time.
		What I think the game needs is a quick but appropriate system to resolve any size of battle (including fleets if required) in one go but, in keeping with the game's ambience, the underdog should probably always have a chance of the win.

		The 'great game' of this title is, of course, espionage and, specifically, the Cold War variety with its double dealing and twisted morality.
		The game proceeds rather sequentially, particularly in the early stages, and you won't be able to move on until you have solved the most immediate problem.
		Similarly, the game has a couple of small but unavoidable combat sequences, one at the beginning and one near the end, but these are fairly easy to negotiate and adventurers shouldn't be put off by them.

	Foreign Affairs - The Great Game in Asia - David Fromkin

		The Great Game arose from a complex of disagreements between Britain and Russia, and the weight to be assigned to each of the causes of the rivalry between them is still a subject of dispute among historians.

		"The Great Game" is a well-written and gripping account of the British and Russian machinations in central Asia during the 19th century that reads more like a novel than a dry history book.
		'The Great Game' was an expression coined by an early participant and later immortalized by Rudyard Kipling to describe the often-shadowy means these two great powers used to pursue these goals.
		Much of the book is devoted to the first and second Afghan wars in which the British tried to install their monarch of choice and were eventually routed as a result of both their incompetence and the fierce Afghan fighters.
