Overview

UFO is a 1976 board wargame published by Gamma Two Games.

Gameplay

UFO is a game in which the people of Earth in the near future must defend the planet from invading flying saucers before they land.

Reception

Norman S. Howe reviewed U. F. O. in The Space Gamer No. 16. Howe reviewed both UFO and Starwars and commented that "They are attractively packaged and illustrated, and are made of sturdy materials. These are ideal games to play when you are too dazed to continue with War in the Pacific, or can't bear the sound of the pencils in Stellar Conquest."
