About XCOM: TBG
In XCOM: The Board Game, you and up to three friends assume the roles of the leaders of the elite, international organization known as XCOM. It is your job to defend humanity, quell the rising panic, and turn back the escalating alien invasion coordinated by the game’s innovative, free digital companion app.
Each round, the app tracks the time you have allotted to respond to each task, forcing you to think quickly, even as you must carefully measure the strategic implications of your decisions. However, the app does far more than track time. Its design is integrated deep into gameplay, and it permits both a mutable alien invasion plan and a dynamic turn structure.
When you start a game of XCOM: The Board Game, the app randomly selects one of five different invasion plans. These plans represent the different, overarching strategies that the aliens might employ as they send forces against the earth’s different continents, create catastrophes, and target your base, pressing back against your resistance efforts.
Destroy UFOs. Research alien technology. Defend your base. Uncover the alien invasion plan. Should you fail, humanity is doomed.

Excellent game!!!
One of the best cooperative board games ever, and the necessary app only makes it better. There’s four roles; one person (Central Officer) uses the app to inform the other three what’s going on (Scientist, Squad Leader, Commander), and everyone uses that info to make decisions during the timed phase each round. Then the resolution phase happens, and the dice are rolled to see what succeeded/failed and what assets are lost. Highly recommended for fans of cooperative, strategy, quick-decision-making, and/or XCOM. 👽🛸💥

COMPANION app to Board Game
This is a great companion to the board game. It’s necessary to play the game it’s necessary to have the board game to go with the app. Super fun but very difficult game. The tutorial was a great way to ease into it and the rule book included in this app is a wonderful tool. The low star reviews are mostly from people that don’t understand it’s part of the board game and cannot be used alone. If you like the video game you’ll love this. Check it out!
