M.A.D.: Mutual Assured Destruction (Modern Plays)

Product Information

It would be a feature that can be turned off if you don't like it, but I think that it would be used more effectively than a world congress decision, which may come too late.

Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization.

This play can also be performed as part of the full-length play Mutually Assured Destruction: 10 Plays About Brothers and Sisters.

Mutually assured destruction is a military mental model with powerful applications in life and business. But the longer they stay in Elsewhere, the more it seems there’s something not quite right with the fantasy utopia—and the less willing Elsewhere is to let them go back to their real lives. For players that are not leading the game, they are more likely to have some nuclear bombs to warn other player “Don’t touch me”, which is indeed the same strategy that some countries in real life have chosen.

But it’s also the story of how humans created a weapon capable of wiping our species off the planet.

I begin to believe in only one civilizing influence – the discovery one of these days, of a destructive agent so terrible that War shall mean annihilation, and men’s fears shall force them to keep the peace.The way they understand nuclear bomb is like a deterrent that reduce the chance of being chosen as a target. The enemy now possesses a new and terrible weapon with the power to destroy many innocent lives and do incalculable damage. Originally from Wisconsin, Don Zolidis is a novelist and one of the most-produced playwrights in America. If any nuclear strike has been performed this round, place this card on the table, otherwise discard it. Through this game, players could experience a similar decision making process of the countries involved, and understand the reason why it’s really challenging to maintain the world peace and keep the world from a Doomsday.
