One player commands the alien forces aiming to wipe out the population of Great Britain, while the other leads UK self - defense units and must damage the Martian army. The game includes the core game with standees only, no miniatures. And note, unless stated, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included. We're excited to offer this game and the Irish Sea Game Expansion on TheGameSteward. A portion of your spend will back new games on Kickstarter.

How to play: Set up the playing board, divide the two asymmetrical decks of cards between the two players, and place the tokens. One player takes on the role of the alien forces and the other as the leader of UK self - defense units. The alien player tries to wipe out the population of Great Britain, and the UK player tries to damage the Martian army. Use the cards strategically to achieve your goals. Note: This retail edition only includes the core game with standees, no miniatures. Paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Maintenance: Keep the cards and tokens in a dry and cool place to prevent damage. Avoid bending the cards or getting them dirty. When not in use, store them in the provided box or a suitable container.
