Description

In the distant future, humanity is part of a Galactic Council where nefarious alien races are always at odds with each other. As the commander of a small strike force representing your race, you'll battle other players and the perils on board an archaic space station orbiting Earth. With unique and outlandish weaponry, extraordinary abilities, and the luck of the die, you'll compete to complete your missions and grasp victory. The game is designed for 2 to 8 players, and while the rules may take some time to learn, the gameplay is smooth and fluid, with each unit completing its actions before moving on to the next. As you navigate the hex grid board, you'll control one of the many playable alien races, each with its own style of play and abilities. The twist in Xenofaction is that between each player's turn, another player gets to control the station units, acting as a sort of pseudo A.I. This adds a new layer of strategy and unpredictability to the game. With action cards creating unique events and tactics, and victory points to be gained by completing missions and killing enemy units, the goal is to accumulate enough points to win. But be warned, sometimes the station itself can emerge victorious, so you'll need to stay on your toes to come out on top in this thrilling game of science fiction and horror, where the stakes are high and the action is intense.
