Supremacy - The Game of the Superpowers
In Supremacy the players represent the superpowers of the world; the United States, the Soviet Union, the League of European Nations, the People's Republic of China, the Confederacy of South America and the Federation of African States. The goal is to conquer the world either through military or economic strength.
Players can build army and naval units. To do so requires resources. There are three types of resources in the game; oil, wheat and minerals. Once the units are built they require a continual input of resources in the form of maintenance. Armies require grain to move and navies require oil. In addition, salaries must be paid for each army and naval unit. Each country on the board is capable of producing certain types of resources. Players can gain access to those resources by capturing the country in question and playing the appropriate resource card. Alternatively, players can buy or sell resources on the global market.
Supremacy is a more detailed version of the classic game Risk. An economic model and naval units have been added as well as such advanced technologies as "L-Stars" (laser defense satellites) and Nuclear Weapons (which come with nifty mushroom cloud markers).
This is a very interesting game with some really nice components. There are a few problems with it; the first player to move can manipulate the market in such a way that they can clean it out of resources before the other players get a chance to react, giving that player a decided advantage at the start of the game. Also, the mushroom cloud markers are just begging out to be used and so most games tend to wind up with everyone losing in a blaze of nuclear annihilation. Still, it can be a fun game to play.

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I want to buy a Supremacy board game.
Do you know where I can find it in USA?
Kind regards,
Aldo
I have the above mentioned Supremacy Board game in new condition plus addons: Warlords and Pirates of the Neutral Zones; Neutron Bombs, Killer Satellites; The Unconventional Forces
This is an amazing game! i highly suggest it to all!
I had this game when it came out, and loved playing it all thru high school - but after moving so often I've lost my game (had most of the xpacks too :( ).
I'm buying a used set on ebay, and it's listed as possibly incomplete. I was just curious if anyone knows the original box piece count so when I get it I can see what I'm missing, and either make replacement pieces or buy an additional boxed set and use whatever I have as spares. Any info is greatly appreciated!
I have a mint condition, still in plastic, spare Supremacy looking for an owner.
Looove this game. Problem is most people find it too long and involved (too complicated more likely). Therefore it can be hard to find people to play with. If you can, and you like things like Risk, you'll love it. A+
Luke, I would be interested, I've been wanting this game for a decade.
email me if you still have it available. cyros2 hotmail com
