As well as the usual 30second club business meeting tonight, I will be bringing Xcom the Boardgame....I currently have a spare slot for that if anyone wants to shout for it. Note this game runs under specific time pressure and is cooperative.

Is that the one with the App to control the aliens actions. Been looking at that as i used to play the old pc games. Sounds good but a bit time intense.

Yeah, that's the one. If you play on easy mode you have as much pause time as you want so its less time intense....

Me likey.
Its not too manic - its too easy to get that way if you start trying to get too involved in helping/commenting on other players play, although communication is vital (often for budget access) or if you do not sit ready for your own actions and get caught out. Actually for some of the bigger actions there is plenty of time and the entire resolution phase is untimed.
The tutorial level of the game smacked us upside the head in 6 turns and just under 2hrs of actual play. There's 5 levels of difficulty above that and 6 other mission profiles......
