XO: First Contact

XO: First Contact is a tabletop RPG of geopolitical struggle and extraterrestial mystery. Players assume the role of Cold War era secret agents who conduct covert operations and investigate uncanny phenomena related to UFOs and alien activity.

The game uses original "dice placement" rules where d6s represent time units available to you on stealth and combat missions – allocate them in various actions as you see fit. For all its simplicity, the system gives rise to some interesting tactical decisions!
