Each player now represents a different country with unique special powers. Adds submarines, atomic cannons and more.
Nuclear War Booster Packs (1995)
Booster Packs of 8 randomly packed card from a set of 47 new cards.
Nuclear War Bonus Pack #1
9 new countries, warhead cards, a set of population cards, a bumper sticker and a player assistance chart.
Nuclear War Bonus Pack #2 — India/Pakistan War Variant (1999)
Combines the Nuclear War game with the India Rails game.
Weapons of Mass Destruction (2004)
More cards for the game including new cards usable as either a missile or a warhead and a Deluxe Population deck featuring characters from Nodwick, Kenzer & Companyand Dork Tower.
Nuclear War Bonus Pack #3
Same as Bonus Pack #1 but with new style of population cards from Weapons of Mass Destruction.
