War of the Worlds
Lead Queen Victoria’s military in a two-player struggle to repel an invasion from Mars and preserve humanity. Martian forces deploy tripod walkers, flying saucers, death rays, missile bases, giant monsters, and human proxies, while the defenders rely on infantry, cavalry, artillery, a possible hero, and a mad scientist’s Infernal Machine. The Martian player secretly pursues one of five victory conditions, requiring the human player to identify and thwart the invasion’s true objective.
