Set-up
Each player is given a storage board. The two decks of cards are shuffled. A number of Population cards are dealt to each player, the exact number depending on the number of players. Nine Nuclear War cards are dealt to each player. Each player in turn immediately lays down all "Secret" and "Top Secret" cards, follows the instructions of each, and then replaces them with new cards from the Nuclear War deck. If any of the new cards are also "Secret" or "Top Secret" cards, then these are also played and replaced. This continues until all players have a starting hand that does not contain any "Secret" or "Top Secret" cards. Each player chooses two cards from their hand and places them face down on the display board in the slots for Card 1 and Card 2.
