XCOM: The Miniatures Game Will Invade Your Table This Fall

The pre-order will include the Core Rulebook, which is based on the best-selling Five Parsecs From Home adventure wargame rules. You will follow an elite team of XCOM operatives as they fight across different missions to build XCOM and defeat the alien threat. The 180-page core rulebook is packed with new color art. It includes rules for creating your squad, generating XCOM missions as the war progresses, a complete encounter and combat system, building and expanding the XCOM headquarters, researching new technologies, creating and collecting terrain, plus a player-versus-player mode for those who want to play the aliens for once!

New aliens will start to appear each month during the war, and players can purchase encounter sets that match the months to grow their game collection as they go. The rules will also incorporate content inspired by the video game's popular expansions, including advanced tech upgrades, MEC Troopers, and the treacherous EXALT faction. XCOM recruits can preorder a range of accessories, deluxe acrylic tokens, reference cards, an official dice set, and the first wave of releases altogether, or just grab the book to check it out. All pre-orders of the printed rulebook will receive the PDF immediately, so you can start reading and playing with any other miniatures you have to hand.
