About the Game

The greatest horror has begun, life does not know its fate.

Man has chosen the war of nightmares. The will of Unions and Nations advance into a global inferno, aiming for survival and supremacy.

WORLD WAR III. Don’t do it! Find another way, but first we need to battle! To see. What might World War III be like?

GOAL 2 to 7 players battle as the will of Unions and Nations to gain the most value in territories. Nukes may be launched, Technologies can be advanced, Nations may be Allied and Pacts can be made but only one player can claim Victory!

GAMEPLAY Each player takes a one of seven major nations or unions, USA, N.A.T.O., Russian Federation, China, Arab Union, African Union, or Union of South American Nations.

Each nation/union can take one action, ranging from taxation, building military might, Diplomacy in hope of gaining the aid of other nations, Technology to further options, campaigns of War, or to Nuke opponents.

Players can create Pacts and work together against their enemies, and in advanced play involve ISIL combatants and North Korea.

Play continues in a clockwise fashion until a certain number of turns or a determined amount of time is complete.

Will we survive to see a world at all?

Blatantly inspired by the games of Larry Harris, Martin Wallace and Joseph Miranda. Blast City's World War III delivers an all night romp for friends to decide the end of the world, or see the superpowers that remain.

This is will now be our first FOLIO Game.

WAR WORLD FOLIO 1 Our Folio games are printed box-less games minimal in game components. All materials are within an folded cover (8.5"x11) at an affordable price.

WORLD WAR III was originally a print and play game. We enjoyed the game so much that we are making these physical copies available. The Rules and other details have been updated.
