2017-11-28 Initial Rating: 7.0 (November 2017) I enjoy XCOM: The Board Game so it is only natural that I also enjoy its expansion. XCOM: The Board Game – Evolution makes the game a lot harder but it also adds a lot of new content. The rules of the game are pretty easy if you are already familiar with the base game. You can explain them under 3 minutes. It adds more of everything plus 3 more miniatures and some new rules. Among the new rules are: - Dangerous tasks: Task in which you have to roll a D6 instead of a D8, so naturally, they are harder to accomplish. - Exalt tokens: They appear at random and make all the related task dangerous. - Destruction Cards: They make the game a lot harder. Every time the base takes a hit, you have to execute one of two cards and they destroy equipment and make things a lot harder for you. - Meld: You only gain a Meld reward if finish a mission as soon as it becomes available and the mission offers the reward. We couldn’t obtain the reward so I don’t remember which is the reward :D. That´s it. I´m surprised FFG has not released more expansions for the game. I couldn't find the rules online, weird! Bottom line, XCOM: The Board Game – Evolution is a good expansion for the game. It makes the game considerably harder to beat and it adds a lot of content. I want to play with it again soon. Current Rating: 7.0

We only used it once. It adds cool new stuff but also it could be a bit too much. The base game is solid without it. Maybe as a variant.
