Project: ELITE

Players cooperate as members of a special ops team in a post-apocalyptic setting to defend objectives and complete high-priority missions against an invading alien civilization. Gameplay runs in a sequence of real-time 2-minute rounds separated by an AI Alien Phase. During rounds, players roll symbol dice rapidly to perform actions: move, attack, and use abilities on a shared board while clearing waves of aliens and pursuing scenario objectives. A distinctive mechanic forces occasional alien movement via a specific die symbol, creating continuous interplay between player actions and enemy advancement. The game emphasizes speeded tactical decision-making, simultaneous play, and managing both offense and objective defense.
