Invazions is a board game released in 2014 for 2–4 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Benoit Bannier and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building.
Invazions is an asymmetric card game. One player embodies what is left of the human race, whereas all of the other players cooperate as zombies hordes. Goals and gameplays are different for each side. Manage your resources and find the cure, or improve your hoard with a new deckbuilding system and free the zombies captured for genetic experiments, the choice is yours!
Invazions supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Invazions is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Invazions for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Invazions has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
