Boxed board game. Condition: Good. MELTDOWN is the nuclear energy conflict game designed to be played by 2-6 players or teams ages teen to adult. The game involves elements of both chance and strategy. The strategy level ranges from simple to complex depending on the level of sophistication of the players. The two elements are heightened and interrelated as events in the game impact players both by the chance roll of the dice, and by strategic design of the other players. Each player is assigned 6 zones on which there is a clean reactor printed. The object of the game is to be the first player to make all six zones "Nuclear Free" or :Nuclear Safe" Working against you is the fact that both the game board and your opponents will be trying to force you to experience nuclear incidents at the reactors in your zones. These incidents will progress from the Alarm Stage (a level 1 incident) to the Radiation Warning Stage (a level 2 incident) to the Reactor Fault State (a level 3 incident) and finally to the MELTDOWN stage. Naturally, each stage is progressively more difficult to correct; and moreover a MELTDOWN requires a serious cleanup operations. Appears complete.
