War on Terror is a devious and strategic game of global domination liberation. Everyone starts with a fledgling empire and the best intentions. Then things start to get cramped. You notice your neighbour has more oil than you. Tensions rise and before you know it, someone launches a pre-emptive strike. And that's usually when the terrorists start appearing ...
Imagine an unholy alliance between Risk, Monopoly, Diplomacy, Settlers of Catan and Poker and you're halfway there. Add an Evil Balaclava, the Axis of Evil, Oil, Terrorists, Nuclear Weapons and God ... and that's the level of joyous family fun that we're talking about.
War on Terror contains:
1 World Map Board, 1 Rules of Engagement, 1 Action Die, 2 Oil Dice, 1 'Evil' Balaclava, 1 Secret Message Pad, 1 'Axis of Evil' Spinner, 61 Empire Cards, 48 Terrorist Cards, 55 Oil Counters, (6x) 36 Empire Counters, 75 Terrorist Counters, 6 Radiation Counters and 120 'World Bank of Capitalism' Bank Notes
