Megagame: Watch The Skies Lockdown

Watch the Skies, the game that introduced a whole new generation to megagames. This is a megagame about international relations, conflict and high level diplomacy. It also involves mysterious and threatening aliens from outer space. The basic premise is that unknown aliens are increasingly visiting earth to abduct, investigate, terrorise and ultimately to subvert and take over or perhaps render earth weak enough to invade. The main part of the game is about how humanity as a collection of political entities decides to react to this.

Most of all it’s a game about humanity coming together to overcome great adversity. Or a more commonly a game about nuking each other back to the stone age.

This game is the perfect introduction if you’ve never played a megagame before, and it’s one of those games that veterans come back to over and over again.
