E.T.I. is not really a cooperative game; as players may work together to stop the alien invasion, but only one can win. This causes backstabbing and fighting to occur throughout the game (which, considering players control government agencies - makes sense), and the alien is not so much of a unifier as just an opponent who was worse than you thought! This is a game that needs a full complement of players to be completely enjoyable - I would recommend this game to folks who are intrigued by the theme - it completely comes across in this game. The first board game from the makers of the funny "Nature of the Beast" card game -- this is an excellent foray, and I hope to see more from Eye Level Entertainment.
