About the game
The War of the Worlds II is a science fiction board wargame for 2-3 players designed by Phil Orbanes Sr. and published by Rand Game Associates in 1974 that simulates planetary conquest. In the year 2000, each player's race has simultaneously arrived at the Altair system, which contains five uninhabited resource-rich planets. The players fight for the right to own the most planets.
Although the title is nearly identical to the novel about an invasion from Mars by H.G. Wells, the two works have no connection.More from Rand Game Associates
