DEFCON is a game set during the Cold War era where players take on the role of a General commanding nuclear forces. The objective is to eliminate the enemy's civilian population while minimizing casualties among your own people. Points are awarded based on success in both areas. The game emphasizes strategic decision-making, as launching attacks exposes your own military positions, making you vulnerable to retaliation. Alliances with other players can be formed but are often fragile and may turn into betrayals. The ultimate goal is to survive the nuclear war while minimizing losses.
