Description
In XCOM: The Board Game, you and up to three friends take on the roles of leaders of the elite organization known as XCOM, tasked with defending humanity against an alien invasion. You must strategically use your resources to launch Interceptors, assign soldiers to missions, research alien technology, and defend your base, all while trying to keep the world from collapsing. The game's innovative digital app coordinates the alien invasion, randomly selecting from one of five invasion plans and managing the arrival of new UFOs, strikes against your base, and responses to your successes or failures. The app teaches you the rules, controls satellite intel, and tracks your progress, allowing you to play at three levels of difficulty. This creates a dynamic and immersive experience, challenging you to keep a cool head and work together to prevail against the alien threat.
