Inspired by the XCOM videogames, the basic premise is that unknown aliens are increasingly visiting earth to abduct, investigate, terrorise and ultimately to subvert and take over or perhaps render earth weak enough to invade.The main part of the game is about how humanity as a collection of political entities decides to react to this.This game is a hybrid of board game, role-playing game (RPG/LARP) and political simulation, with the majority of the players representing the scientists, diplomats, military leaders and politicians of the world's most influential nations, and a smaller group of players representing the aliens.
