SUPPLEMENTAL
As UFOs appear in orbit and worldwide panic threatens to undermine national governments, the game’s free companion app and its push-your-luck dice rolling mechanics immerse you deep in the tension and uncertainty of a desperate war against an unknown foe. The effect of the app is to immerse you deep into the dramatic tension at the core of XCOM: The Board Game, and it ensures that the game presents a challenging and cooperative (or solo) experience like no other. We now believe another force is at work against us. The discovery of the mysterious alien substance known as Meld promises to unlock some astonishing breakthroughs in the field of biomechanics. Check back soon! In XCOM: The Board Game, players take on the roles of the leaders of the elite, international organization known as XCOM. You must launch Interceptors to shoot down alien UFOs, assign soldiers to key missions, research alien technology, and use that technology to defend your base, all while you try to keep the world from collapsing just long enough that you can coordinate one final mission to repel the invaders for good. Defense satellites detect UFOs in orbit over Mexico, Russia, and Brazil. Description XCOM: The Board Game is a cooperative board game of global defense for one to four players.

This is the first game I've ever played that uses a free downloadable app. There are 4 roles filled by 1-4 players which combat the crisis as they emerge in very unique ways. I went on YouTube for a game play run through and was pleased enough by what I saw to spend my money on it.

Exceeding your available funding has consequences, none of them good. Lee me just say that if you do play this game alone, this is the biggest challenge, and needs a level of organisation from the player, but I suppose the same could be said from a 4 player game with players shouting across the table to one another trying to coordinate actions as the clock continues to tick ominously down. One 12 sided red dice and a bunch of 6 sided blue dice. The Squad Leader has an important role as he or she will be in charge of the finite supply of soldiers, deploying them to missions and defending the base.

(Much more if you're a Fan of the game as I am). The aim is to roll the blue dice and get it to land success side up.
