One of the URLs in the External Links section is dead " http://www.canosoarus.com/06NWgame/NW01.htm " - the Wayback Machine has a copy of it - " https://web.archive.org/web/20211001164607/http://www.canosoarus.com/06NWgame/NW01.htm "

Another of the URLs has been taken over by Rebellion Unplugged (they bought the rights to Tunnels and Trolls and may have acquired the domain at that time). Again the Wayback Machine to the rescue " https://web.archive.org/web/20230324085415/https://flyingbuffalo.com/collections/nuclear-war/Nuclear-War "

Game Table Online had a version you could play on their site. " https://web.archive.org/web/20140326133554/http://www.gametableonline.com/?post_type=games&p=356 " - do not visit that URL without the Wayback Machine, it has the worst kind of filth on it these days.

Additionally, Doug Malewiki now has his own website " http://www.inventordoug.com/ "

Availability

Where can you get a set?

Many internet games stores of the type advertised on Board Game Geek would sell it. You could also follow the external links to either the publisher's or the designer's website, both of whom sell the game. - Waza 00:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Original 1965 Release

edit

The box pictured in the article is not from the original 1965 release. It's probably from Flying Buffalo's late 1970s rerelease. I have a copy of what I think is probably the original release, or a reprinting of same. I bought it back in the 70s when I first got into gaming, and it may have been before Flying Buffalo's republishing the game; the gaming store (the original Compleat Strategist in NYC) probably had acquired stock that was even then a decade old.

The original box (or at least, the one I bought) had red lettering on a plain white background, and on the bottom panel had a copyright notice of 1965 by Douglas Malewicki. The cards were plain black print, no color. MarkVolundNYC (talk) 06:57, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
