About this board game

Weapons of Mass Destruction is a card game for 2–4 players, with plays lasting about 30 minutes, in which major world powers pursue global domination through propaganda and nuclear weapons.

This 2004 release is an expansion for the award-winning Nuclear War Card Game, yet it can also be played on its own. Each player takes the role of a major world power and uses strategic choices to advance their bid for control of the world.

The game’s darkly comic objective is simple: be the first to blow up the world. The winner is the sole survivor—but the game also allows for the possibility that there is no survivor and no winner, making every attempt at domination potentially catastrophic.

  • A 70-card WMD deck
  • A new 40-card population deck
  • Artwork featuring Nodwick, Kenzer and Company, and Dork Tower characters
  • Support for 2–4 players, with more players possible using combined sets

Weapons of Mass Destruction integrates with Nuclear War, Nuclear Escalation, and Nuclear Proliferation. Combine sets to expand the player count, or use the standalone WMD set for a compact game of high-stakes strategic conflict.
