WATCH THE SKIES - A MEGAGAME
"This might be the coolest thing we've ever done."

About the game
It also involves mysterious and threatening aliens from outer space.
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, RPG 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.

Watch The Skies is a game that relies partially on hidden information, and as such it is recommended that you try to avoid researching the game in detail to avoid 'spoilers'. For those of you who already know a lot about the game, know that compared to the original version of the game which is viewable online, some significant changes have been made to this version.
