Slag is a game in which each player is given a nation, and the object is to totally destroy all other players' industry.[2]

Reception

J. Mishcon reviewed Slag in The Space Gamer No. 38.[2] Mishcon commented that "All in all a well balanced game with a lot of very nice options, but a game that heavily depends on your hand-eye coordination to shoot down those missiles. Buy it only if you're really into coordination."[2]

gollark: > if you actually let natural selection work, anything other than straight would get selected outAnd yet it wasn't. Weird.
gollark: I mean, it's "natural" in the sense of "nature produced it".
gollark: > If we’re gonna have this cancerous discussion, then there’s a theory that homosexuality is actual selected for, as a way to reduce how quickly we approach the environmental carrying capacityLike I said, natural selection doesn't exactly optimize for what's best for the *group*.
gollark: I mean, we *are* born with... brain things... which make us susceptible *to* belief in god.
gollark: I'm putting "wants" in quotes because evolution isn't an agent and doesn't literally "want" anything.
