About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an insane journey into the world of Incursion, where World War II takes a bizarre and terrifying turn! This game blends the best of board games and miniature wargames, plunging you into an alternate reality of 1949. Imagine: Allied forces, the US 'Lucky Seventh' and UK's MI-13 commandos, are in a desperate race against time. They must infiltrate underground bunkers and confront the monstrous aberrations of the German SWD, all to deactivate a Doomsday Device that's about to be triggered.
The backstory is chilling: after devastating German victories in 1946, fueled by a biological weapon that turns corpses into dangerous zombies, Spain joins the Axis. Gibraltar, once British, becomes a macabre underground research center. In 1949, the Allies manage to retake the surface, but the true horror lies in the depths. Naval zombies attack vessels, and MI-13 uncovers plans for the Doomsday Device hidden beneath Gibraltar.
Incursion is an exclusive two-player game, featuring an intense narrative campaign that culminates in an epic climax. The mechanics are super accessible, allowing you to focus on tactics. The pace is frantic and tense, and you choose your forces through a card-based Requisition Point system. The game comes with a sturdy board, a special card deck, and detailed 30mm metal miniatures. If you're into a war theme with a touch of sci-fi and zombie horror, this is your game!
