Holiday Gift Guide: Invincible: Escape from Mars brings the popular comic and animated series to the tabletop

Posted on by

What sets Invincible: Escape From Mars apart from other hidden identity games is the rapidly changing roles.

One round you may be a human assisting everyone to board the ship safely. The next round you could turn into the “Sequids” alien species trying to sabotage the mission… only to be caught by the humans and turned back into a human again. This goes on and on and hilarity ensues!
