A century's worth of sibling squabbles is boiled down into ten vignettes in this era-hopping tribute to family.

In Mutually Assured Destruction:10 Plays about Brothers and Sisters by Don Zolidis, the Sayville Players put on a series of skits that dealt with the perpetual squabbling of siblings.

You can learn a lot just from identifying the situations where you’re in a version of mutually assured destruction.For players that are not leading the game, they are more likely to have some nuclear bombs to warn other player “Don’t touch me”, which is indeed the same strategy that some countries in real life have chosen.
