Description

War of the Worlds: The Journey is a solo and co-operative card game (1-4 players) of survival, skill and some luck, as you travel across southern England during the Martian invasion of 1901. You will travel through a country crawling with Martian war machines and emptying of humanity. Martians must be fought or fled. Locations provide refuge. Stalking you throughout your journey is the Fighting Machine, from which there is no escape. Your only hopes are the weapons you have gathered, and the terrestrial bacteria that weaken the Martians, but which may help you survive. Defeat the Fighting Machine, rid yourself of the Curate, save your wife, and reach Primrose Hill, and you win. The game can be played with a standard deck of cards, the card mapping table plus the 2-sided quick reference guide included. File downloads are here or at https://dterm.itch.io/war-of-the-worlds-journey An playable online version for the solo and Overlord variants is at https://journeyengine.cards Card art by Dom Wright.
