About the game

What you do in a play session

Grab your popcorn and hold your breath, because the invasion is on! Invasion from Outer Space: The Martian Game is a burst of action that feels like it was ripped straight from a classic B-movie sci-fi flick. The fun is split between two sides: on one hand, you have the circus heroes—featuring eccentric characters like the Strongman and even a dancing bear—who must unite to save humanity. On the other, you have the Martian invaders, ready to wreak havoc with ray guns and advanced alien tech. The gameplay is fast-paced and offers a cinematic experience, especially with its modular board that ensures no two scenarios are ever the same. One of the biggest perks is its full compatibility with the 'Last Night on Earth' game engine. This means you can mix up the threats, creating epic sessions where zombies, heroes, and Martians clash on the same board. Looking for more chaos? The game allows up to three independent factions fighting simultaneously. With detailed components and a constant sense of tension, it's perfect for fans of invasion narratives who want something that moves quickly around the table. It's the kind of game that turns an ordinary night into a grand spectacle of space action and survival!
