About the Game

Watch the Skies is a strategic, political, and diplomatic megagame where dozens of players manage nations, international organizations, and secret forces in a world facing a global crisis.

Each nation is governed by a group of players, each assuming roles such as:

Politics

Military

Science

Diplomacy

During gameplay, players must:

Negotiate and sign treaties

Address economic, military, and social crises

Make long-term strategic decisions

React to mysterious events involving extraterrestrial beings

The game operates in real time, with an umpire coordinating the action, and the outcome depends entirely on the players' actions, negotiations, and choices.
