Invader is based on a kind of videogame very common in the early 80s: the invasion of the Earth by a fleet of alien ships. The hopes of the Earth reside in the ability of a lone space warship, which has the task of decimating the invaders.
In this boardgame version, one player controls the Alien and the other the Earth. The object of the Earth player is to obtain the highest possible score by destroying the alien ships through the various game levels. The Alien player, on the other hand, must kill the Earth ship as soon as possible.
After the game ends, both players exchange the roles. The winner is the player who, as the Earth player, scored the highest total (Aliens do not score points).
