As the mothership descends to complete her conquest of Earth, enemy ships fill the skies. In your underground research bunker, you are Earth's last hope.

Under Falling Skies is a solo game with a multi-mission campaign. In each mission, you take charge of defending a besieged city.

Your actions are powered by an innovative dice placement mechanic. When you choose an action, you are also choosing which enemy ships will descend. Bigger numbers give better effects, but they also cause ships to descend faster.

Expand your underground base to gain access to more powerful actions, allowing you to shoot down enemy ships or deploy robots to increase your workforce, but don't forget to work on your research and watch your energy supply.

The mothership draws closer every round, ratcheting up the tension.

Can you complete your mission before your base is destroyed?

Mia D. ★★★★★

I've never played a solo board game that keeps me this tense — every dice placement decides whether the mothership inches closer to Earth. The underground bunker theme actually comes through in the mechanics, not just the art. I've lost track of how many times I've reset just to try one more run.

Brian M. ★★★★★

I've played this solo about ten times now and the alien ships descending turn by turn genuinely stress me out in the best way. Managing the dice across the bunker while the mothership inches closer is such a tight balancing act.

Eva R. ★★★★★

The dice placement mechanic makes every turn feel like a tense little puzzle, and I love that the mothership track keeps descending whether I'm ready or not. Setup takes five minutes and it plays in about half an hour, so it hits the table way more often than my other solo games.
