In UFO Invaders, you command a fleet of spaceships fighting against an army of invading UFOs. This is a cooperative game featuring a dice-rolling combat system. Players must defeat waves of alien invaders by attacking with their dice. The Drone card grants special abilities to modify dice rolls and access a dice storage, where saved values can be added to future attacks. Enemy UFO cards form grids of 2×3, 3×3, 4×3, or 5×3 depending on the number of players. Some cards are placed face-down, hiding their effects until attacked. Every enemy is vulnerable and invulnerable to specific dice colors, so players must carefully choose which dice to use and which targets to strike. Each ship has a permanent die that is always recovered after combat. Ships can also be upgraded with improvement cards, allowing them to carry more dice and apply modifiers to their rolls. Victory is achieved if all enemies are defeated while the fleet retains at least one point of endurance. Includes 3 game modes: Space Invaders, Battlefields (duel mode), and Rescue the Hostage (solo mode). -description from publisher
