Theme: Political, Wargame

Description:
DEFCON 1 takes place during the cold war from 1950 to 1990. All cards and technologies are historically based.

Featuring different gameplay for each number of players:

  • 2 players - Frontal Shock Game, nervous and tense.
  • 3 players - Death Circle Game with secret objectives.
  • 4 players - Semi Cooperation Game and Secret Objectives Game.
  • 5 players - Secret Objective Game.

Each of the 5 aymmetrical blocs has its own strengths and weaknesses, through its own Technological tree, Mission and Objective cards, and even scalable pool of Units. Each player has Mission cards in their hands, and will gain rewards upon fulfilling each of them, bringing them closer to victory. As the DEFCON level decreases, depending on the actions of the players, new strategical options will become available like building nuclear bombs. There is also a Space Race which allows you to earn Influence and to add new Spatial Technologies on your Technological tree.

The game is played in 5 phases:

  1. Initialization: Refill your hand and collect resources (Oil, Uranium, Influence, R&D) depending on the zones under your control.
  2. R&D: With Research you may unlock Technologies. You may also invest in the Spatial Race.
  3. Political: With Influence, you have a possibility to Destabilise zones or take the Political control of the Destabilised zones.
  4. Production: Then, you may Produce available Units in zones you control that contain a Factory. You may also upgrade units.
  5. Atomic: If the DEFCON level has reached level 1, you may launch nuclear bombs (i.e. if you own the Technology).
  6. Warfare: Finally you may Redeploy units, Launch Attacks on Sea, Bombard, then Redeploy units, Launch Attacks on Land.

Can opener
It doesn't shut off by itself when done and doesn't shut off when I push the button, so after a while it will shut off but when it wants too after you take it off the can ,like 30 seconds. But I do like the way it cuts, a clean cut and lid removal nice.

Very dangerous metal shavings!!!
Negative stars if I could. This is a very dangerous product. It worked well for a while. But then it quit effectively removing the lid instead I got little tiny shavings of metal around the edge. These shavings of metal go into the food and very dangerous. So this was a waste of money and incredibly dangerous. I am throwing it in the trash today.

Practical and easy to use
This electric can opener performs its function well and gets the job done effortlessly. With just the press of a button, it opens cans quickly and smoothly—which is very useful, especially if you prefer not to exert physical force. The design is comfortable to handle and does not take up much space in the kitchen. The battery life is good, and it recharges without any issues. Overall, it is a functional product that makes an everyday chore much easier.

Works great
Ive broken so many manual can openers from sheer strength and this eliminates that issue not only because it no longer needs my input but because this device actually works! Would definitely recommend it. Usb c charging is a god send, no batteries!
