In addition, the global situation – how many continents are nearing panic, how many UFOs were in orbit, whether or not you completed a mission – can affect the details. Thanks to the app, The actions come in unpredictable ways each round, keeping players on their toes. One round you might get 1 crisis card, 8 UFOs, and 2 enemies in the base, while the next you’ll get 2 UFOs, 1 Enemy, and 10 crisis cards. While each XCOM action definitely occurs at some point in each round, the Alien actions vary a whole lot more. Of course, these actions are intertwined with enemy actions – adding UFOs to the globe and to orbit, sending alien troops against the XCOM base, and adding Crisis cards to a stack that resolves at the start of the resolution phase. You also get a budget assigned to you each round which limits the number of units that can be played. These actions include assigning units for defense (interceptors for each continent, Satellites for orbital defense, soldiers for the XCOM base), selecting new technology to pursue, assigning scientists to research those techs, and sending soldiers out on missions to fight back against the invasion. It posts one action at a time (which the Central Officer is responsible for reporting to the rest of the team), and tracks how much time is available for said action. In the timed phase, the game’s companion app manages the flow of the game. The game has two phases: the timed phase and the resolution phase. With a limited budget you’ll need to research new tech, shoot down alien ships from the sky, defend the XCOM base from alien incursion, and send teams to complete missions in order to end the invasion once and for all. XCOM: The Board Game is a cooperative game in which a team of four players is tasked with defending earth against an alien invasion. Can you hold off the invasion before it’s too late? We’ve formed a team to scramble Earth’s defenses together and make one last stand. The sharpest commander, the smartest scientist. Oh, you wanted some good news? This is all I’ve got: we’ve assembled humanity’s best and brightest. We don’t have starships, or a planetary defense grid, or giant death rays pointed at the sky. The really bad news? Earth is woefully unprepared. The bad news is, the aliens aren’t what you’d call “friendly” or “peaceful.” In fact they’re quite hostile, and bent on conquering Earth. Turns out we’re not alone in the universe.
