Under Falling Skies: A 9-Card Solo Game

A lone underground base races to build a weapon and repel an approaching alien mothership while fending off waves of smaller fighters. Each round, dice are placed in rooms on a vertical card track representing the base; placing a die activates that room’s effect but also advances all enemy ships in the same column, so placement both grants benefits and accelerates danger. Rooms provide actions such as attacking foes, deploying drones, gaining energy, or progressing along a research track toward the final weapon. Only one die may occupy each column, and the mothership descends a step at the end of each round, creating increasing pressure until the research completes or the base is overrun.
