Nuclear War was released in 1965 by an aeronautical engineer named Douglas Malewicki. A game for two to six players, each player represents a "major world power" and attempts to gain world domination through the strategic use of propaganda techniques or nuclear weapons. Created at the height of the Cold War and during the early stages of the Vietnam War, this game aimed to lighten the mood and used a satirical tone against the impending threat of global nuclear war.
