Board games publisher Fantasy Flight Games together with studios 2K Games and Firaxis Games presented XCOM: The Board Game. This project is primarily interested in the fact that this board game will present a true artificial intelligence, executable program companion for iPad.
Gaming application is responsible for the invasion of aliens, as well as responding to the players. Given the fact that the project is a multiuser, such a solution - a significant step forward. Of course, not without assorted cards, dice and other traditional elements of almost any table game. Furthermore, the application companion also explains users how to actually play.
As for the gamers themselves, then each person has a unique role, without which the overall victory is impossible. There commander, central officer, chief scientist and leader of the military unit.
Given that the mechanics of the original game itself is close to the table (the timeline can be replaced by the number of necessary moves branch technologies and the base itself - matching cards, and Turn-based battles will bring into play the element of the present wargame), then, subject to artificial intelligence, the final product should get exciting.
Promise to release the game to the end of the year, and the official presentation of the project will be held next week at the festival GenCon.
