Organiser: Gothenburg Megagames
Designer: Jim Wallman

Set on modern-day Earth, players take on the roles of national governments in the form of leaders, diplomats, military and scientists – each navigating diplomacy, crisis management, world economy, technological research, and public perception as unexplained phenomena unfold across the planet. Can your team lead humanity through this time of uncertainty, or will nuclear chaos reign?

Jim Wallman designed this genre-defining game, which features strategic negotiation, coordination, and a lot of creativity. Whether you're a returning player or completely new to megagames, Watch the Skies offers an exciting and welcoming experience for all!

The game is designed with the real world in mind, usually with some humor as the main "coping mechanism".

You play in a team of four players in one of the following G8 nations: Brazil, China, France, India, Japan, Russia, the UK, and the USA. We will add more nations if the game sells out.

There is also the exciting opportunity to play the Global News Network and report the events as they unfold.

There is an Alien team too, but we don't talk about them.
