GAMEPLAY

Under Falling Skies is a solo game with a multi-mission campaign. In each mission, you are responsible for defending a besieged city. Your actions are driven by an innovative dice placement mechanism. When you choose an action, you also choose which hostile ships will approach. Higher numbers provide better effects, but also make the ships 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. Don't forget to work on your research and keep an eye on your energy supply. The Mothership approaches each round, increasing 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 fascinating mechanics, it now comes with a full-scale campaign offering even more content for hours of intense fun.
