About this game
Lead a nation's atomic weapons program in a worker placement race to build nuclear bombs. Construct uranium mines, plutonium reactors, and bomb factories while deploying spies to steal rivals' technology and fighters to bomb their facilities. The worker placement has teeth: you can send workers to opponents' buildings, and military strikes are a real threat. Balancing industrial development, espionage, and defense creates a uniquely aggressive take on the worker placement genre. First to build enough destructive power wins.
