Proliferation: The Game of Nuclear Strategy is a tabletop card game designed for 2 to 9 players. Build your country's economy, conduct secret missions, and sabotage adversaries all while stockpiling nuclear weapons to ensure that your country is the most powerful on Earth - or at least the last one standing. Choose your player country - Play as one of the following nuclear powers: China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the UK, or the USA. Each starts with base economic resources, five lives, and unique abilities. Expand your economy - Purchase Infrastructure Cards to increase your Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and strengthen your economic position. Engage in diplomacy - Make deals and forge bonds with other countries by engaging in Trade Agreements and employing Alliances. Sabotage adversaries - Play Mission Cards to dismantle your opponent's nuclear arsenal, ruin their economy, and foil their plans. Deploy Peacekeepers to maintain the balance of power. Attempt to Consolidate Power - There are two ways to win. Claim victory by meeting all of your country's Consolidation Conditions, or... Survive all out nuclear war - Build your arsenal of Nukes, use a Defense System to protect against enemy attacks, and withstand the consequences of nuclear winter. Lose all of your lives and you are eliminated from the game.
