Enemy in the base. Crisis. Crisis. Crisis. Enemy in the base. 17 more UFOs appear. Enemy in the base. Good luck.

Great at creating the feel of the Xcom video games. Greater than the sum of its parts. The individual roles are unexciting but when everything is combined it just works. Tedious tutorial/learning curve - there's no rule book just an app based tutorial scenario - can be tedious to refresh your memory of the rule and sort out the minutia.

+ Incredibly intense team experience that makes grown men jump up and down in glee after a particularly close victory; The roles are different enough to where playing repeated times can still be interesting. - This type of intensity will not appeal to everyone so choose your group wisely. Why it's previously-owned: The expansion actually added a bit more than I was looking for in this game and bogged things down a bit. It made it so that we weren't excited to pull it out in between bigger games.
