The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire – Cold War

About this expansion

The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire – Cold War is a strategy expansion for 1–5 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes.

Set after World War II, this expansion brings the tensions of the Cold War to the world of Energy Empire. As nations rebuild their economies and infrastructure, they form alliances through diplomacy, develop rockets and satellites for the space race, construct vast nuclear arsenals, and operate in a world filled with spies.

Cold War introduces new levels of strategy and additional options to The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire. Its components are divided into separate modules, allowing players to tailor the experience to their preferences. The modules can be selected individually, or added over time as players become familiar with the expansion.

• Modular components for a customizable game experience
• More opportunities for interaction between players
• Additional and more varied ways to win
• A solitaire game called Clash of Netions

The expansion is recommended for gradual integration rather than adding every module at once. This gives groups the flexibility to explore its new strategic possibilities step by step, while deciding which elements best suit their games.

Whether played with selected modules or expanded further over time, The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire – Cold War offers a broader take on the original game’s setting and strategy. It was released in 2022 and also provides a dedicated solitaire option for players seeking a solo challenge.
