Cheater’s Risk

Do you think you’re clever enough to build nuclear weapons in secret? Imagine a world in which countries have agreed to give up nuclear weapons. In such a world, nations would want a high level of confidence that there would not be breakout to build nuclear weapons in any nation. You can now test your skills at nuclear breakout. Alex Bollfrass and Barry Blechman of

the Henry L. Stimson Center have recently created an online game called Cheater’s Risk. The official launch of the game is today. I’m one of the nuclear weapons analysts interviewed for the game. The game is based on the book Elements of a Nuclear Disarmament Treaty, which features a chapter written by FAS’s Ivan Oelrich. Please check out the video trailer of the game and test your deceptive mettle by playing the game.
