Synopsis

After Balance of Power, designer Chris Crawford stuck to the global approach, but shifted the focus from power politics to macroeconomics. In a basic simulation of industrial production and distribution, players balance a country's military and social spending to survive in an environment of fictional nations competing for land and resources.

The key element of the turn-based game The Global Dilemma is a basic tree of industries such as coal mines, sawmills or gunpowder factories. The entire production chain leads to only two results: an increase in either military strength or population. Guns or butter.
