Description

Invasion: Earth is a classic science fiction board game that drops you right into the action of a ground war on our home planet. Published in 1981, this game has been thrilling players for decades with its unique blend of strategy and simulation. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of either the invading forces of the Third Imperium or the defenders of Earth, using a combination of area movement, dice rolling, and grid movement to outmaneuver your opponent on a large 16x21" map. With 480 counters at your disposal, you'll need to make tactical decisions about how to allocate your resources and deploy your troops to achieve victory. The game's normal complexity makes it easy to learn for experienced board game players, but challenging enough to keep you on your toes. As a wargame, Invasion: Earth is all about simulation, using a ratio/combat results table to determine the outcomes of battles and adding a layer of realism to the game. Whether you're a fan of science fiction or just looking for a fun and strategic game to play with a friend, Invasion: Earth is a great choice, offering 120 minutes of intense and exciting gameplay.
