Well that was a nice surprise for a wet Saturday morning Grey Fox Games Kickstarter drops through the door. Fantastic art work and a very professional feel to it. The extra mouse mat playing area was a great add on.
War of the Worlds - The New Wave is a deck building game set several years after the original War of the Worlds invasion.
Having ran my own WOTW's campaign how could I resist this deck building game. The extra-terrestrial invasion is occurring once again, but this time the Martians have arrived on a giant spaceship that lands in Scotland.
During the game, one player commands the alien forces, and the other one leads the plucky Brits. Players purchase action cards as well as Units and Buildings which help with controlling areas of the board. The game comes with some lovely miniatures to replace the card board options.
The main objective of the invaders is to completely annihilate the population of Great Britain, while the opposite side needs to deal enough damage to the Martian army.
Civilians need to be protected and both sides look to look to inflict 30 points of damage.
With 45 minutes playing time perfect for some mid-week gaming.

Perfect timing for the BBC War of the Worlds in the next month or so.
