WORLD IN FLAMES
Although the Martians of e War of the
Worlds have largely had an obsession with the
British – Steven Spielberg’s big-screen, US-set
take on the story aside – the creators of e
New Wave are keen to see how the rest of the
globe copes with an alien invasion.
e rst announced expansion for the game
crosses the Irish Sea to add Ireland to the
theatre of interplanetary war, with Plastinin
revealing that Jet Games is considering
whether to expand e New Wave’s
battleground to Russia, China and the USA in
the future. Another expansion said to currently
be in the works will add another asymmetrical
side to the game, allowing an extra player to
take control of an unspecied third force.

Meanwhile, Jet Games is already planning its

next tabletop tribute to a sci- classic. Shamolin

describes co-operative game Forbidden Lands

as an survival experience inspired by e ing,

John Carpenter’s horrifying cinematic vision

of John W. Campbell’s short story Who Goes

ere? Alongside “space pirate” deckbuilding

game Tortuga 2199, it rounds out the studio’s

line-up for 2019.

War of the Worlds: e New Wave,

meanwhile, is due to land this summer,

following a successful Kickstarter at the start

of the year. After years of work, its creators

express hope that their continuation of Wells’

seminal tale will have b een worth it.

“We think the classic never gets old,”

says Shamolin. “People love that book, it’s

really inspiring.”
