Hello, lovely people! My mate Ian <http://twitter.com/ian_willey>, who is an artist, and I have been hard at work making a game, *Nuclear Poker <http://twitter.com/nuclearpoker>*. There's a lot of very lovely art in this game. It's happens to be game about nuclear war. The fun, chaotic, bluffy side of nuclear war. Not so uch the really gross side. Specifically, players take the role of madcap dictatorships running around trying to get their hands on a nuclear arsenal so they can RULE THE WORLD.
A game is over in about 10 minutes, and usually the world doesn't *actually* end because some nice superpower (could be you!) will enforce peace. Usually. And when that doesn't happen, another round only takes 10 minutes. Oh well! It plays like hell, and people love it. It is, needless to say, *ideal* for playing in your hexayurts at Burning Man. Please buy a deck, and make a donation to help us get the Nuclear Poker Bunker ready! *DEFCON 1 Deck + $60 donation <https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/nuclear-poker-playa-edition-2014-defcon-1> *- includes *EMERGENCY KITTENS *and* Priority Pass to Nuclear Bunker Facilities,* as well as *DEFCON 2 Deck + $15 donation <https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/nuclear-poker-playa-edition-2014-defcon-2> *- includes customizable cards for your own *evil and insane* house rules, as well as *DEFCON 3 Deck <https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/nuclear-poker-playa-edition-2014-defcon-3> *- includes the sure-to-be-infamous, possibly illegal in Germany, *Nuclear Poker Jokers* The Nuclear Poker Bunker is our art project for EMF Camp 2014. *Nuclear Poker *is our fundraiser for the Bunker. *EMF Camp* <https://www.emfcamp.org/> is a 1500 person hacker camp in Britain that runs at the same time as Burning Man. It's not *quite* the playa, but it's a lot of fun. We'd like to raise some resources to get a plush mini-quaddome printed with more of Ian's great art, and a large box of creative costumes for players to wear. *And a big red button that goes BOOM.* It's going to cost us about $1000 or $1500 (consider that a stretch goal for costuming etc!) so we need to sell a lot of decks! Pass on the word! We'll let you know how the kickstartering is going. Please buy a deck and help us out! Fulfilment is through The Game Crafter: buy 'em there and they'll ship direct. Nothing for us to screw up! You can see the art from the back of the cards below. Thank you very much for all your help and support over the years, please buy the hell out of this so we can go and have some fun! V> Behold, the wonder. Yes, there'll be T-Shirts and badges and stuff sometime next week. But isn't Ian's art great?
