Ravensburger Alien Fate of the Nostromo - Strategy Board Games for Ages 12 Years Up - 1 to 5 Players - Gifts for Adults

Another team game where everyone plays on the same team to achieve the same goal and either you all succeed and escape the alien infested ship or you all fail and the alien traps you before you all escape.There's a great addition to make the game a little harder if you want by having the android, Officer Ash chase you around and make the game more difficult.Cool little plastic character figures of all of the original cast with character cards and a plastic alien to chase you around.Lots of additions that make the game close to the film like the cat and cat carrier with a really interesting board that maps out the spaceship Nostromo from the first Alien movie.Great value for money and fun to finish as a teamThere's a

First of all, the game is very fun and challenging, with bonus points for Alien franchise fans. It took us a few turns before we got the hang of it, but it was entertaining all throughout. We've played only as 3, but I can imagine it being even more fun with more players. Once you get the hang of it, I feel that adding Ash into the mix is a must. I don't think we've won any run with Ash on the board, but it was still amazingly fun.As a side note, I'd like to mention that their customer support is amazing. Our game box was missing the Dallas placard, and instead we had a duplicate Brett placard. Even though Brett is one of my favourites, I've emailed their customer support services asking whether they have a spare Dallas to replace our missing one, and sure enough within a week or two, they've posted it and now we have all of them.All in all, great build quality, great fun and great customer support.

The fact that its a team game and you have to work together makes it all the better and for some takes getting used to. All I can say to anyone buying it, read the instructions. We were getting smashed by the Alien, until to reread the instructions and realised we were doing it wrong. All in all, one of my fave games.

Slight indentation on top of box when arrived, but the game is good fun. Works for the full range of player numbers in my opinion. Best to set up before people arrive to play as it takes a bit of time. But worth it. Big box so easier for home games.

If you're in to board games and/or Alien then you'll love this game. It's really easy to learn and can be played solo or played solo using more than 1 character if you wish. It's very true to the film Alien from the art on the board game itself right down to the equipment and cards used in the game. A very enjoyable game played solo or with friends. Also the art work of Jonesy the cat on the board itself is a nice little touch.

This is a high quality game and a bargain at under £18Four of us sat round the table and played through twice, each time taking just one hour and winning by the narrowest of margins. We found the rules easy to pick up and follow. Really impressed by the quality of the product.Great game

The board itself is nicely printed as are all the tokens and cards, I have no complaints about any of those.The instructions could be a mite clearer on some issues, but after one botched play-through we realised our mistakes.The models are as mentioned elsewhere a little cheap and flimsy and it's not currently possible to get direct replacements. Potentially from a 3D printing service, but then you're stacking costs.Once we got into the rhythm of the game it worked really well. All 5 of us planning and coordinating to complete objectives and escape. We managed to do so with a single space left on the Crew Morale tracker, really tense stuff when we were forced to place concealed tokens on every room and then backtrack to complete the extra mission.For the cost against the fun we had, I'd say it was worth it.

It’s a good game to play on game nights with people who are knowledgeable of the alien franchise. It’s fun and the strategy is great too!
