Description

The War of the Worlds is a game for icehouse, based on the eponymous science fiction novel written by HG Wells, first published in 1898, describing a Martian invasion of Earth and the terrible battle that has to fight the humanity to survive. The War of the Worlds is an abstract strategy board game designed for the icehouse system that requires reflection and large doses of tactics and strategy. The game board in the form of "L" represents the Earth. A player will command the alien invasion (green pyramids), while his opponent take the human resistance (yellow pyramids). To win, each player must be removing the pyramids (units and war machines) of his adversary, for whom he finally finished the game with as many of their pyramids live on Earth. Your opponent will know things get tough?
