Nuclear War Page

This is one of my all-time favourite games --and I've played a lot of games!

You can also visit the Nuclear War Home Page

Additional Cards

Some Additional Cards (PDF, Zipped) to spice up an already wonderfully exciting game. You need to get some blanks or spare common boosters and glue these on the faces.

Country Cards

Replacements for the Country Place Mats, the same size as the cards, making the game more portable. These also contain new countries of my own design, bringing the total to 27:
Nuclear War Countries Set 1 of 3
Nuclear War Countries Set 2 of 3 (All are PDF, Zipped)
Nuclear War Countries Set 3 of 3

Combined Rules Booklet

All the rules (Escalation, Proliferation, Boosters, WMD, FAQ, etc.) in one handy booklet.

The Combined Rules 1.50 (PDF, Zipped) are designed for a printer capable of doing two-sided printing. The first two pages explain the procedure.

You must cut the sheets, assemble them and staple them together. The end result is a nifty 32 page 5 1/4" by 3 3/4" booklet.

Nuclear War Deck Composition

This table documents the card mixes in the various decks. WMD has combination cards that can be used as either a delivery system or a warhead; they are listed in parentheses under both categories. The "Boosters" column is my recommended deck mix.
