About the game
What you do in a play session
Each upgrade to your UMVee not only makes it more powerful but also grants special abilities that can turn the tide of the game. Undermining is a highly interactive game, where your actions can both benefit and hinder other players' plans. Competition for resources is intense, but strategic movement and blocking open tunnels are equally crucial. While it's possible to move through other UMVees, doing so costs battery power, and efficient management of this energy – which allows for extra actions – is essential for success. The game features a double-sided game board, significantly altering player interaction. With a random layout of resources, UMVee upgrades, variable contracts, and unique bonuses from alien technologies, every game of Undermining promises a unique experience.
