About the game
What you do in a play session
Strategy is everything here. You won't be able to save everyone, so the secret lies in knowing where to deploy your defense resources. Your goal is to manage your units to protect what truly matters: strategic cities, national parks, and even livestock farms, all while trying to destroy alien bases that start popping up in the areas you've left undefended. It's a game of priorities and constant crisis management.
During your turn, you'll need to act fast to defend attacked regions, collect national park markers, and score points in urban or rural areas. Also, keep a close eye on public and private objectives; they can be the deciding factor between a heroic victory and a total disaster. If you enjoy strategy games with a touch of tension and that 'we need a plan, now!' feeling, Alien Attack: USA will keep you glued to the table. It's a challenge of positioning and area control where every defensive decision can either save a city or clear the way for the invaders to dominate the map.
