War of the Worlds: The New Wave is an asymmetrical deck-building game that pits two players against each other in an epic battle. Years after the original Martian invasion, the aliens return, this time with a giant ship landing in Scotland. One player commands the alien forces with the goal of exterminating the British population, while the other leads the UK defense units, trying to inflict enough damage to stop the invasion. The game uses two asymmetrical decks, a board, tokens, and miniatures to create a strategic and immersive experience. With mechanics like area movement, deck building, and hand management, each match is an intense struggle for survival and domination.
