WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! Alien forces are descending from the skies to terrorize and subjugate our planet. An international organization has been formed: XCOM. The task is simple: Defeat the enemy by any means necessary.

HELLO COMMANDER...

XCOM: The Miniatures Game is a solo and co-op adventure wargame that will place you in charge of XCOM and its Operatives, or go head-to-head in player vs. player, or Alien Commander mode!

XCOM: The Miniatures Game, designed by Ivan Sorensen, recreates the classic battles from the XCOM: Enemy Unknown video game by Firaxis Games on your tabletop. This is an adventure wargame based on the best-selling Five Parsecs from Home. In the campaign, you play battles against increasingly challenging Alien invaders. You will need to recover alien resources, develop new technologies, and build out your XCOM base, gaining experience, new powerful weapons, and technology until you are ready to take on the enemy in the final battle for the survival of humanity.
