You thought after your last mission that you had finally successfully driven the cosmic hegemony out of the universe. Wrong! The three alien races known as The Red Hegemony are back and have already infiltrated several Intergalactic Alliance planets — but that's not enough for them! They want domination, no matter what the cost... As a secret agent of the Intergalactic Council, it's your job to prevent this from happening. The fact that this sounds like a hopeless task doesn't stop you from grabbing one of the new ships and assembling a strong crew to embark on a journey to the farthest reaches of the universe and crush the Red Hegemony once and for all! In Pulp Invasion X3, you have new spaceships and a new bridge crew to help you eliminate the threat once and for all. Use your skills in combat, diplomacy, and super science to track down their world-shattering super weapons before it's too late!
Pulp Invasion X3 supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Pulp Invasion X3 is 20–30 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 Pulp Invasion X3 for ages 12 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.
