Description
DEFCON 1 is an historical and political wargame, set during the Cold War from 1950 to 1990, played on a beautiful 90 x 60 cm game board._x000D_

This strategic board game is characterized by a gameplay that changes according to the number of players, ranging from a Frontal Shock Game game at 2 players to a semi-cooperative version with 4 players, ending with a secret objective game in the 5 player game version. The game is played in five different phases: Initialization, R&D, Political, Production, Atomic, and Warfare._x000D_

The players control five different blocs: three major blocs (the Atlantic Alliance, the Warsaw Pact, the Non-Aligned Movement) and two minor blocs (France and China)._x000D_

DEFCON 1 is fully asymmetrical: each bloc has its strengths and weaknesses, using its own technological tree, its mission and objective cards, and even scalable pool of units._x000D_

As the title suggests, the Defcon level degrades during the game from 5 to 1, and the level degrades depending on the actions of the players, opening new strategical options that will become available, such as building nuclear bombs.
