How does your game fit the theme?
Countdown is the core pressure of 1983. Every turn advances the years toward 1983, while crises, global tension, and the nuclear clock threaten to end the run early. You only have three operations each era, so every response is a tradeoff: spend limited resources now, or risk a crisis escalating before time runs out.

I wish there were more eras covered, can't get enough lol
1983 throws a lot at you early on, but once it clicks, it's tense in the best way. Every decision feels weighty as the clock ticks down. Loved it, definitely worth playing.
looooooved the gameplay sm! kinda hard for me to keep track of so many cards, tags and rules. music was fr stressing me out but that js adds to the overall impact. kudos to the makers!!!
The presentation is amazing and I enjoyed the unique take on the theme as well as the unique gameplay
