## Description
Set 3: Foes breathes new life into the Worldspanner Factions series with two game modes that'll please both tactical combat fans and story lovers. First, there's the 1-8 player skirmish mode featuring a reactive AI that creates dynamic challenges - perfect for testing strategies against unpredictable opponents. But the real star is the 12-mission cooperative campaign that delves into the heroes' backstories, exploring the athletes behind the armor. With modular board, hex grid, and the series' signature variable powers, each game is a fresh tactical puzzle. And the best part? You can play solo, in pairs, or with a full group - just don't promise it'll be quick, as these battles can last up to 4 hours of pure strategy!
