Defense Grid: The Board Game

About this board game

Defense Grid: The Board Game is a cooperative deck-building game for 1-4 players, with an approximately 120-minute play time, based on the Defense Grid video game franchise.

Players must work together to face wave after wave of aliens while trying to protect the cores. Each mission challenges the group to make important decisions about both deck construction and tower placement.

How you construct your deck for a mission is just as important as where you place your towers and which towers you choose to power each round. These connected choices shape how players respond to the incoming alien waves as they work toward the mission’s Gold Medal.

The game includes at least ten missions and six AI characters to choose from. Over the course of play, players unlock additional options that can be used in later attempts and missions.

• Cooperative play for 1-4 players
• Deck-building tailored to each mission
• Tower placement and tower-powering decisions each round
• At least ten missions and six AI characters
• Unlockable AI improvements, AI abilities, towers, and cards

As players progress through Defense Grid: The Board Game, they unlock new AI improvements, abilities, towers, and cards. These additions provide more ways to approach the missions while the group continues its fight to protect the cores.

With its combination of cooperative play, customizable decks, tactical tower decisions, and escalating alien waves, the game turns each mission into a shared effort to survive and pursue the Gold Medal.
