About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to defend Earth in XCOM: The Miniatures Game! Inspired by the hit "Five Parsecs From Home," this solo and cooperative game puts you in command of an elite team of XCOM agents. The mission? To combat the alien threat that insists on invading us. The 180-page core rulebook is the heart of the experience, bringing rules for super dynamic tactical miniature combat, creating your own unique squad, generating XCOM-style missions, developing your base, and researching increasingly powerful technologies. But the fun doesn't stop there! If you want an extra challenge, there's a Player versus Player mode where a friend can take on the role of the alien invaders. It's pure adrenaline and strategy for those who love the XCOM universe and want to relive the tension of protecting the planet.
