DEFCON is a deceptively simple game for the strategy buff who doesn’t conceal the complex and surreal nature of strategic thermonuclear war. It’s an entertaining alternative to a good game of chess.

Inside Mac Games (IMG)
In any event, in an age when board games are typically looked upon as relics of a bygone era by a new generation of gamers, along comes a game like DEFCON—a game that takes many of the core concepts that made classic board games like Battleship so much fun, combines it with 60’s-era nuclear paranoia, and tops it all off with a whiz-bang sci-fi look that makes everything old new again.
