NUCLEAR ESCALATION CARD GAME: intended as the `expansion set' for Nuclear War, this game can be played separately or shuffled in with Nuclear War to make a bigger game. It brings the devastation up to date with cruise missiles, MX missiles, new Special cards, sneaky Spies, and Space Platforms. (And don't forget `Skippy' the feared SuperVirus). This game won the H G Wells Award for best SF Boardgame of 1983 awarded at Origins 1984 even though it is a card game! And since you can't play online bingo while sitting in your fallout shelter, you will need this game.
