Nuclear Family uses Happy Fun Times to transform the player’s phone into a deadly missile launcher that lets 5-12 players engage in all-out nuclear war. Spy on your enemies to learn their secrets, stockpile nukes, and make strategic use of limited defense systems to destroy your enemies while keeping your nation safe. Protecting yourself isn’t enough though, as deadly fallout can spread from neighboring countries, poisoning the land. When the war is over, who will remain?
