Flying saucers, death rays and 1950s B-movie panic: invade Earth as one of ten alien races.
It is the 1950s at the movies: flying saucers over the city, death rays, and a pitiful humanity that fights back with army platoons, a few heroes and its most terrifying weapon, the atomic bomb. In Conquest of Planet Earth you play an alien race from an invading armada, each with its own abilities and ambitions, such as the technology masters of the Orzax or the beautiful but deadly Venezian Matriarchy. Ten alien races, a modular board and fast, action-point-driven turns keep the invasion rolling. It is a 2010 miniatures game of campy sci-fi invasion, playable solo or with up to four players, with cooperative play supported, around ninety minutes.
Who it's for
You love B-movie science fiction and want an invasion game that is tongue-in-cheek, quick and full of miniatures.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a serious, dry strategy experience. This one plays things for laughs and relies on dice.
Vibe's take
Campy and fast. You swoop in with saucers, laugh at the army's feeble tanks, and then flinch when the atomic bomb finally drops on your plans.
