Description
UFO: Game of Close Encounters is a classic sci-fi board game that's all about defending Earth from an alien invasion.

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.
