Invasion

About

Invasion is a two player strategy game that splits action between a physical board and the Odyssey screen. Each round involves planning moves on the included board while using cards to trigger attacks shown as simple graphics on television. Different assault types change how you approach each battle, with combat outcomes based on timing and card selection. As the first game released with the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, it helped define early console strategy gameplay. The separate board and use of cards 4, 5, and 6 create a hybrid experience that feels ahead of its time. Its simple mechanics and turn based structure remain accessible to modern players seeking a taste of gaming history.
