## Description

The extraterrestrial invasion is occurring once again, but this time the Martians have arrived on a giant spaceship that lands in one of the backwater districts in Scotland. Humanity was able to defend Earth from the aliens once, but this time they’ve come preparedIn War of the Worlds: The New Wave, humans will have to fend off the alien attack, featuring walkers and space ships as well as the full force of their advanced technologies. But brute force alone won’t be enough to send the aliens packing. They’ll need to use their own wit and creative thinking to protect the planet once again.

Review: El precio normal es de arriba de mil pesos y solo trae el tablero y cartas , unos cuadritos equis, debería de costar 400 siempre y no solo disque en oferta
Review: H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds is one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read. Why it took 123 years for there to be a board game that delivers and envelops the war torn world from the book is beyond me, but it is a welcome addition to my gaming shelf. In this 2 player deck building game you will choose between defending humanity or trying to destroy it. The Martians are back after their initial defeat which occurred in the book, and the army forces of the United Kingdom are posed to fight this “New Wave” of alien forces and once again defend against them. I love this game for a lot of reasons, one of course being the theme, but another which will sound odd is how amazingly unbalanced it is….in a very balanced way. Each player is building their own deck throughout the game, picking and choosing which cards to discard for more energy or money to build up their fighting power. The tactics of each side are so different that you see and feel the power struggle. The alien forces are stronger; they generate power very quickly and have lots of offensive powers. The exact opposite is true of the human army; they generate funds less quickly but have powerful defensive and movement abilities. This is where the appreciated unbalance comes in, of course Alien forces should be more powerful they are shooting laser beams and humans are just doing the best they can with the limited technology they have. This power difference is very true to the theme and I really enjoy that aspect of this game. Each player also has a different winning condition. Humans need only deal 30 damage to the Martians to force a retreat, whereas the aliens must eliminate 30 human civilian targets which can move all over the game board. This is where their better movement abilities shine, a great tactic is to move a few troops up and around the main alien force and then start dealing damage the alien buildings. Splitting their numbers works well if you play it right. In contrast when playing the alien forces, building up your energy supply quickly and then playing your second UFO or your 2 other Tripods can make easy work of any pesky humans trying to sneak around the board. Overall this is a very challenging 2 player game which I enjoy a lot. It will take a few games to start really learning strategies and tactics, those of course can be totally defeated by an equally competent player who can adapt and change their own way of playing to counteract what you’re trying. Most all games will be nail biters coming down to each side being within a few points of one another at the end, which makes for very exciting game-play. Games are also short in length so you can quickly reset the board, shuffle your cards and play again. If you look for and enjoy 2 player games like we do give this one a try and if you do, please enjoy the game!

I bought this as a Father's Day gift for my dad. He is a sci fi nut and has been delighted with the game. He liked it so well that he went and bought one of the expansions the week he got it. My mom, who is not generally into sci fi or what she calls "mega games", was even excited to play it after it arrived. Thanks to the makers for scoring me brownie points with my parents!
