Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo - Board Game

No experience needed. I'm playing the game for the first time, so we'll learn together. New players are welcome. (So are any experienced players!)

You don't need to bring anything but your curiosity, enthusiasm, and imagination. It's a self-contained game.

"A perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. I can't lie to you about your chances."

In 1979, I went to one of the very first releases of Alien and was blown away. I'm a dedicated science fiction geek, so I went into this movie with high expectations. I was not disappointed. Now I have a chance to relive some memories of that event with the Alien: Fate of the Nostromo board game.

Join the ill-fated crew of the Nostromo as they struggle to survive against the hideous xenomorph. Collect the items you need to build the weapons that may save you. Try to escape as you are ambushed by this hideous creature from the beyond. Try not to trip over Jonesie when he dashes between your feet.

The game seems quick to learn and relatively easy to play. Game aids, counters, and character stat sheets all add to the game experience. The rules are only six pages long and game time is estimated to be about an hour. The pictures included in this posting show some of the other features of the game

Alien: Fate of the Nostromo is a cooperative game. If we go down, we'll all go down together!

Join me and hopefully we'll have fun learning to play this game.

As always, thanks for being a gamer! Have a great day.
