Read the full game description
Project: ELITE is a real-time cooperative science-fiction game in which one to four operatives fight through missions under relentless pressure. Each action phase lasts only two minutes. Players roll dice simultaneously and place useful results onto movement, attack, search, and scenario actions, rerolling as quickly as they dare. Alien-move faces cannot simply be ignored: every one advances a hostile miniature, so a productive roll may also pull the swarm closer. When the timer stops, the alien phase resolves lingering threats and the team gets a brief chance to plan, equip weapons, and coordinate the next burst. Distinct character abilities, modular equipment, varied objectives, dice-driven enemies, and a crowded grid turn communication into the group’s most valuable resource. Complete the scenario objective before the team is overwhelmed.
