Description

War of the Worlds: The New Wave is a thrilling game for two players that drops you into the midst of an alien invasion. The game takes place several years after the original story by H.G. Wells, with the Martians returning to wreak havoc on Great Britain. One player takes on the role of the alien forces, while the other leads the UK's self-defense units, setting the stage for a intense and asymmetrical battle. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 30 to 60 minutes, you can quickly dive into the action. The game features a unique blend of deck-building, area movement, and hand management, making each playthrough a fresh and exciting experience. As you command your forces, you'll need to strategically manage your resources and make tactical decisions to outmaneuver your opponent and achieve your objectives.
