Project: ELITE – R.O.O.K Team

About this expansion

Project: ELITE – R.O.O.K Team is a 2020 board game for 1–6 players about hardened veteran soldiers taking the fight to the Proxies in powerful prototype mobile tank suits.

After the initial Janusian invasion inflicted punishing losses on infantry forces, ELITE Command began assembling a team of worldwide survivors. Their answer was the Rapid Offense & Operations Kommandos, known as the ROOKs: a specially assembled force created to lead a decisive counter-offensive.

Each ROOK soldier operates a mechanically enhanced suit of armor combining native Terran technology with salvaged alien gear. These formidable machines are designed to bring overwhelming force to the battlefield, making every ROOK worth ten common infantry soldiers—provided that all the pieces work properly.

Project: ELITE – R.O.O.K Team focuses on the dangerous edge of military innovation, where veteran soldiers are wrapped in groundbreaking armor and sent into a conflict that demands victory or death. The ROOKs are not ordinary infantry: they are survivors selected to carry the war forward with technology powerful enough to change the battlefield.

For players drawn to science-fiction warfare, elite soldiers, and the clash between human engineering and alien technology, this game presents a dramatic vision of a specialized team taking the fight directly to its enemies.
