Gameplay

The War of the Worlds II is a science-fiction game on a planetary scale, with various starfaring races fighting over an uninhabited, resource-rich star system.[1]

Reception

David M. Redding reviewed War of the Worlds II in The Space Gamer No. 3.[1] Redding commented that "I unloaded the game at a small fraction of its cost to a rather dense, now ex-acquaintance and he surely got less than he bargained for."[1]

Tony Watson reviewed War of the Worlds II in The Space Gamer No. 6.[2] Watson commented that "War of the Worlds II was a good try. There was obviously a strong effort to get that sci-fi 'feel' into the game, which I feel the designer accomplished. It is unfortunate that he had to deal with a weak game."[2]

gollark: "Everyone has a gun" isn't really a scaleable replacement for police.
gollark: Their border control is apparently very awful.
gollark: ···
gollark: Getting rid of the entire police force is probably *not* a particularly good way to sensibly restructure things.
gollark: Not allowing companies to know if people have degrees or not might not-too-ironically be a good idea for improving the situation.
