I´ve been waiting quite a while for this to happen. As i´m a huge fan of both the XCOM series and board games in general. And now it has finally happen for real.

Yes, there really is a “XCOM Enemy Unknown” board game on the market now. And you can buy it via Amazon for 41,95 bucks (plus shipment costs).

XCOM the board game is all yours for $41,95 + shipment.

And it seems like you get a lot of value for that money as well. As there´s sixteen sculpted XCOM soldiers, twenty-four UFOs and eight interceptors to be found in the XCOM board game box.

I also like the fact that you can play up to 4 players at the same time as well. So it seems like my Easter has just been saved!
