To play War of the Worlds: The New Wave, first set up the playing board, lay out the tokens and miniatures, and divide the two asymmetrical decks of cards between the two players. One player takes on the role of the alien forces, and the other becomes the leader of the UK self - defense units. The alien player's goal is to wipe out the population of Great Britain, and the UK player needs to deal enough damage to the Martian army. As you play, use the cards to perform actions and make strategic moves. Remember, this is the Kickstarter 'Earth Defender Pledge' Edition. It includes the core game, the Irish Sea Expansion, and all unlocked stretch goals, but paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. When not in use, store the game in a dry and cool place to keep the cards, board, tokens, and miniatures in good condition.
