New Cold War
A card-driven geopolitical simulation covering major events from 1989 to 2019. Players command one of four great powers and balance cooperation with their bloc against pursuing national victory as the game shifts from allied confrontation to free-for-all competition. Gameplay centers on playing cards to gain prestige, influence countries and regions, shape media narratives, and project military power. Players also manage UN Security Council vetoes and pursue hidden objectives that guide long-term strategy. Includes scenarios for two to four players and a solitaire mode using automated opponents.

Balleflass6.0 It's good if you like TS, but I found the card effects to be a little bit dull and samey. The card effects in TS, 1960, IS etc. is more varied and fun with much more impact.
