Nuclear War

Players represent rival world powers and maneuver between a peace/Cold War phase and an all-out war phase using hand-held cards. During the cold phase, players play Secrets and Propaganda to form deals, bluff, and undermine opponents; talks and card effects change alliances and intentions. A war begins when a player launches a missile and payload; other players may attempt to intercept. If an attack succeeds, the defender loses population cards according to a randomized spin. Play alternates between diplomacy and strikes until either peace resumes or only one player retains population cards.

Please load all copies of this crap on some nuclear warhead and let it explode in space... Everything in this game is just luck. But it took us 45min to finish it with 3 players! Awful!

It's a stupid card game that's easy to play, and a fun experience in mutually assured destruction.
