About the game

What is Legendary Encounters: The X-Files Deck Building Game

How to Play and, Maybe, Win

During each game, you’ll play through three “seasons” of the X-Files™ show (the game covers the first nine seasons).

Each player starts the game with a deck of basic cards. At the start of your turn, you’ll add a card from the Conspiracy Deck into the Shadows. It could be an Enemy, an Event, an Informant or even a Lead about the conspiracy. You’ll play cards from your hand to generate Attack, Recruit Points, and special abilities. You’ll use Attack to defeat Enemies and to reveal hidden cards in the Shadows. You’ll use Recruit Points to find and recruit new character cards in the Bureau for your deck.
