Nuclear Poker
A downloadable teaching game
Nuclear Poker was designed by crisis planner Vinay Gupta when he discovered that colleagues who grew up after the end of the Cold War were unfamiliar with the strategic implications of nuclear weapons. He also designed the Biowar expansion (included).
The game is very simple and a group of three or more can play a round in about ten minutes. Though the game is first and foremost a teaching tool, it is also fun as a game ... if you don't think about it too hard.
I designed these print-and-play cards for my own use, drawing on card designs by Ian Willey: you can buy a nice deck using his designs on Game Crafter. This deck includes refined instructions and a few variant rules.
