Reception[edit]
Tony Watson reviewed The War of the Worlds in The Space Gamer No. 35.[1] Watson commented that "TWotW does a good job of taking an interesting but very unbalanced situation and making it into a fun game."[1]
Eric Goldberg reviewed War of the Worlds in Ares Magazine #9 and commented that "If the players can accept the radical revisions to the plot of the novel, they have a game which should prove tense for the first five or so plays. After that, War of the Worlds is a solved puzzle."[4]
