Under Falling Skies


20m - 40m

Solo Play

Ages 12+

Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

  1. 8 out of 10

    Solo gaming at its best. Apart from the gameplay I really like quickly this game plays. Setup in no more than 5 minutes. Quick and immersive turns with next to no administrative overhead. In this solo game you can focus on *your* moves instead of managing a so-called "automa". Furthermore the difficulty can be selected very precisely. At base difficulty it's a fun & easy skirmish, at max difficulty it's a bloodshed on the edge. Finally, the game is never unfair or excessively random, In fact, there are no really bad dice rolls: if you roll low, both you the aliens will have weak actions, if you roll high, it's just the other way round. All in all: An excellent solo game

    My ideal solo experience. Easy setup, relatively short games while still feeling very thoughtful and strategic. And best of all it is an efficiency puzzle vs. the "flip a card and get screwed by the game" solo experience. Production quality is superb however the box is a bit flimsy. Reply value is probably the most impressive part. After unlocking everything in the campaign, you will have enough to ensure you never play the same game twice. And that's BEFORE you modify elements to adjust difficulty. There is SO MUCH GAME in this small box!

    Preliminary rating, but so far I am completely blown away by the amount of content inside this little box, and the pure fun it entails. Such a wonderfully satisfying game experience, and I'm not even usually a solo gamer.

Aliens have arrived to conquer Earth. Enemy ships fill the skies. Humanity retreats to underground bunkers located below cities across the globe. Stand against the common threat! Fight the invaders city by city. Build a team from around the globe to save your planet and defeat the aliens!

GAMEPLAY

Under Falling Skies is a solo game with a multi-mission campaign. In each mission, you take charge of defending a besieged city.

Your actions are powered by an innovative dice placement mechanic. When you choose an action, you are also choosing which enemy ships will descend. Bigger numbers give better effects, but they also cause ships to descend faster.

Expand your underground base to gain access to more powerful actions, allowing you to shoot down enemy ships or deploy robots to increase your workforce, but don’t forget to work on your research and watch your energy supply.

The mothership draws closer every round, ratcheting up the tension.

Can you complete your mission before your base is destroyed?

Official rules: https://czechgames.com/files/rules/under-falling-skies-rules…

Under Falling Skies is based on the print & play game that won the 2019 9-card Nanogame P&P Design Contest. Built on the same intriguing mechanics, it now comes with a full-scale campaign providing even more content for hours of intense fun.
