Includes: sixteen sculpted XCOM soldiers eight Interceptors & twenty-four UFOs In XCOM The Board Game the alien invasion has begun Early encounters have only served to prove that the worlds militaries are hopelessly out-gunned Panic leads to riots & governments struggle to maintain any control Human civilization is on the brink of collapse As the department heads of XCOM you & your friends must succeed where the worlds militaries have failed You lead the elite members of an international military organisation which is funded by a secret coalition It is your job to destroy UFOs research Alien technology uncover the alien invasion plan & find some way to turn back the alien invaders You must do this all while preventing the collapse of the governments that secretly fund your organisation Paris has fallen New York is a pile of rubble spilling into the Atlantic Alien attacks against Nanjing & Changzhou prompt widespread panic throughout the streets of Shanghai Defense satellites detect UFOs in orbit over Mexico Russia & Brazil Military responses have proven ineffectual Fear & anxiety lead to widespread riots Human civilization stands upon the brink of collapse… You are humanity’s last hope In XCOM The Board Game you & up to three friends assume the roles of the leaders of the elite international organization known as XCOM It is your job to defend humanity quell the rising panic & turn back the alien invasion Where the world’s militaries have failed to stand against the alien invaders you must succeed To do so you must make strategic use of the resources available to you You must launch Interceptors to shoot down alien UFOs assign soldiers to key missions research alien technology & use that technology to defend your base all while you try to keep the world from collapsing just long enough that you can coordinate one final mission to repel the invaders for good Innovative Digital Enhancement The most notable aspect of XCOM The Board Game is the way that it incorporates a free & innovative digital app into the core of its gameplay then uses the app to promote a unique play experience unlike anything you & your friends have previously encountered in a board game This digital companion will be available both as a downloadable app & as an online tool The app’s primary function is to coordinate the escalating alien invasion randomly selecting from one of five different invasion plans Each invasion plan represents a general outline that the alien commanders will use to coordinate the arrival of new UFOs plan strikes against your base & respond to your successes or failures as it seeks to conquer Earth The app manages all of these tasks & heighten’s the game’s tension as it forces you to respond in real-time Then after you move quickly to coordinate your response you engage the enemy in the untimed resolution phase & feed the results to the app Based upon these results the app launches the invasion&s next strikes in addition the app teaches you the rules controls the information that your satellites provide you & tracks the progress of your resistance efforts even as it means that you can enjoy the game at any of three levels of difficulty Easy Normal or Hard A crisis card The use of this app does more than simply streamline your play experience & track your turns in real-time It also permits a uniquely dynamic turn structure While the variety of game phases remains the same from round to round the order in which you & your friends must play through them may change as may the number of a given phase As a result while you’ll want to know where UFOs appear before you deploy your Interceptors the alien invaders may be able to disrupt your satellite intel & force you to deploy your Interceptors on patrol with limited or no knowledge of the UFOs current whereabouts Similarly you may be forced to think about the costs of resolving the world’s crises before you know how many troops you’ll need to commit to your base defense The effect of the app then is to immerse you deep into the dramatic tension at the core of XCOM The Board Game & it ensures that the game presents a challenging & cooperative (or solo) experience like no other Just like the XCOM department heads that you represent you’ll need to keep cool heads in order to prevail Players 1-4 Playing time 60
