XCOM: The Board Game is a board game by Fantasy Flight Games, based on the video game franchise of the same name, about fending off an alien invasion.

The board game puts up to four players in roles like Commander and Chief Scientist and uses a digital companion app to escalate the alien invasion as time goes on. More on the game and its gameplay is available in Fantasy Flight’s initial announcement.
