About Nuclear War Bonus Pack #1
This expansion contains 9 new countries for Nuclear War, an extra set of population cards, 5 extra warhead cards, and a bumper sticker. Mizzou: You don't believe everything you hear. Any propaganda played on you is only HALF effective (round fractions up). (i.e. 5 million propaganda costs you 3 million.) Mars Colony: You are out of reach of bombers and atomic cannons; they cannot be used against you. Unfortunately you cannot use them either. Nor can you use submarines (there isn't any water on mars). However, supervirus skips right over you with no effect. Bashnia: the fighter. On your turn, instead of drawing and playing a card, you may launch an infantry attack on your immediate neighbor on either side. You lose one die roll minus one of population (i.e. 0 to 5) and he loses one die roll plus one of population (i.e. 2-7). (You each roll separately.) You may aim your attack at an atomic cannon, in which case you lose one die roll minus one of population, and he loses his atomic cannon but no population. Litigation Land: Has the power to sue others. Whenever it is your turn, INSTEAD of taking your usual turn and drawing cards, you may "sue" any player who fired a missile at you or dropped a warhead of any kind on you last turn. He or she misses his next turn, plus you roll a 6-sided die. If you roll a 4, 5, or 6 he must give you 2 million population. Foolja: You didn't really launch a missile! Anytime you have a missile or bomber face up in front of you at the start of your turn, you may, instead of drawing a card, just take it and put it back in your hand. Recycleland: You can recycle dud missiles. Anytime a player gets a dud warhead on you, you may take it into your hand (and discard something from your hand to keep it even). If it was carried by a missile, you can take the missile too. If a bomber gets "runs out of fuel" you get the warhead and the bomber. Eugenia: Loses fewer population. Advanced techniques in genetic engineering make your people very resiliant and highly resistant to radiation. Whenever you lose population due to a warhead, you lose 1 million fewer than you are supposed to. Uforia: Ability to overload missiles. Your country has been taken over by little green people who know how to pack more stuff on those missiles of yours. You may at any time put a bigger warhead on a missile (up to twice its carrying capacity), but if you do, you must roll the Nuclear Misfunction Die TWICE. If either roll is a misfunction, then you must roll a misfunction as usual. Magpie: Has the power to copy others. Whenever it is your turn, before you draw any cards, you may trade powers with any other player. He is now the Magpie, and you have whatever power he used to have. Limitation: if you are the new Magpie, and you wish to have your old power back, you must wait at least one turn before taking it back. Nuclear War Bonus Pack #3 has the same contents as #1 except it contains the newer style population cards as found in Weapons of Mass Destruction rather than the old style from the earlier games.
