Description

UFO: Game of Close Encounters is a classic sci-fi board game that's all about defending Earth from an alien invasion. As one of two players, you'll take on the role of either the aliens or the Earthlings, with the goal of either landing five UFOs on the planet or defending it with a limited arsenal of eight rockets. The game is easy to learn and plays out in just 30 minutes, making it a great option for a quick gaming session. The game's simple rules and mechanics, including area movement and dice rolling, belie a deeper strategic challenge.
