Opis


Aliens have arrived to conquer Earth. Enemy ships fill the skies. Humanity retreats to underground bunkers located below cities across the globe. Stand against the common threat! Fight the invaders city by city. Build a team from around the globe to save your planet and defeat the aliens!


GAMEPLAY

Under Falling Skies is a solo game with a multi-mission campaign. In each mission, you take charge of defending a besieged city.

Your actions are powered by an innovative dice placement mechanic. When you choose an action, you are also choosing which enemy ships will descend. Bigger numbers give better effects, but they also cause ships to descend faster.

Expand your underground base to gain access to more powerful actions, allowing you to shoot down enemy ships or deploy robots to increase your workforce, but don't forget to work on your research and watch your energy supply.

The mothership draws closer every round, ratcheting up the tension.

Can you complete your mission before your base is destroyed?


Under Falling Skies is based on the print & play game that won the 2019 9-card Nanogame P&P Design Contest. Built on the same intriguing mechanics, it now comes with a full-scale campaign providing even more content for hours of intense fun.

In this game, we will be in charge of a series of underground bases around the world trying to defeat an alien invasion, these aliens will launch their attack from their mother ship into the different cities that we will have to defend at all costs.

Our objective in the game will be to fill up the research track in order to learn the aliens weak spot and destroy them, but we will lose if the mothership descends too close to our city and triggers her death ray upon us or if the alien ships hit our city too many times and we reach our base structural limit.

The board is divided in 4 Sky tiles, 1 city tile and 2 underground base tiles each divided in 5 columns. In each turn, we will roll 5 D6 dice and will carefully place them in the available rooms in our underground base one by one placing only one dice per column. Every time we place a dice in a room of our base we will trigger the movement of every alien ship on that column and they will descend as many squares as the value in our D6. Afterwards we will resolve our rooms, using the energy required and applying any modifiers stated in the room. After all the rooms have been resolved the mothership will descend 1 row closer to the city and trigger the appropriate effect.

What are my impressions after 8 games:

This is a very elegant solo game, there is a good amount of randomness but the game provides you a bit of luck control in each round to mitigate it. In order to win, the game requires quite a bit of thoughtful dice placement and also a bit of luck. It feels very puzzly, but also very rewarding when you achieve to eliminate several alien ships at once or when you coordinate several rooms to investigate a long stretch in the research track, the continuous descension of the mothership will increase the tension through the turns.

The replayability of the game is really high. The sky tiles have 2 different difficulties easy and hard, the sky has 4 tiles so you can set up quite a few variations of difficulty to enjoy. The city tiles also bring and easy and hard difficulty and they provide you with a specific underground base layout.

I would recommend this game to people who enjoy problem solving puzzles similar to sudoku but with a Space invader taste, you will need to balance carefully the dice according to their values through the rooms, keeping a flexible balance between your energy levels, defensive capabilities, excavation progress and alien research in order to be victorious. The ability to increase or decrease the difficulty of the game through the tiles plus the random nature of the dice will provide hours and hours of challenging puzzles for the earth defenders.

Space wise:

The box has medium size dimensions (25cm L x 18.5cm W x 5.5cm H), but it is full til the brim with cardboard around 1.4 Kg. Once the game is set up (5 min) it occupies around (58-71cm L x W 12cm) on the table, so it will require a rather long table to play comfortably.

Component wise:

The cardboard thickness is good and similar to other games of CGE such as Galaxy trucker it has been nicely printed and all pieces are printed on both sides with a nice finished to the touch.

The alien ships have a nice smart design and are made of clear transparent plastic and they come in 3 different colours easily identified, regarding the tokens there are 2 transparent plastic discs and a small cube to help you track the energy, alien investigation and the base’s life. There is also an orange excavator meeple made of wood to track your base excavation progress. Finally the dice, there are 7 wood dice, in three different colours too, they are nice to roll.

The box includes also 3 campaign modules, with extra cities and sky tiles, objectives and some characters to use to aid you during the games. It is not meant to be a legacy campaign, and at the end you will be able to mix and match as you wish adding to the replayability value of the game.

I hope you enjoyed my expoilerless review of this game.

Tematycznie Under Falling Sky nawiązuje do XCom - bronimy miast przed atakiem obcych. Mechanicznie gra jest niesamowicie wciągającą łamigłówką, w każdej turze przydzielamy kostki do różnych pokojów w bazie, im większa wartość tym więcej zyskujemy, ale zarazem tym dalej poruszą się atakujące statki obcych.

Gra rozpoczęła swoje życie jako print and play i pewnie dlatego, że istnieje ta darmowa wersja tym razem nie tylko dostajemy bardzo ładne komponenty ale i kampanię wprowadzającą całe mnóstwo scenariuszy, specjalnych zdolności, nowych miast itd. Kampania jest w pełni regrywalna, a co więcej każdy z jej elementów może być wykorzystany w jednorazowych rozgrywkach sprawiając, że dostajemy ogromną różnorodność.

Grę polecam wszystkim którzy lubią logiczne myślenie z odrobiną losowości, ten momenty gdy patrzymy na to co jest dostępne i kombinujemy jak najlepiej to wykorzystać. Gra jest szybka, a zarazem ma więcej możliwych kombinacji niż można zobaczyć w kilkudziesięciu rozgrywkach.
