Alien: Fate of The Nostromo Board Game for Ages 10 & Up – A Cooperative Strategy Game of Suspense

One of my favourite games, as I enjoy the Alien franchise and this can be played solo or with friends. The game is easy to learn but has an adjustable difficulty, when you add the Ash character. There are also solo rules available to download from sites like BGG giving more play options. The miniatures are a soft plastic but well-made and can be painted using acrylic paint, if you wanted to. The cards and tokens are a good quality as well and will last a long time.

I'm an Alien fan in the first place so I bought this for a collection purpose. As much as I avoided "Jurassic Park Danger" because it seemed to have balance issues (I heard that dinosaurs tend to win 4 games on 5), "Alien: Fate of the Nostromo" is a cooperative game. The players team up against the odds and try to win as a group. It can be the great kind of games when some players in your group tend to be better at strategizing, leaving little room for the others to win. It also mean that you can also play solo because you don't need an opponent to play against (and most of those non coop games are usually not even fun only with 2 players but may require 3 or more people to be played at their best). I only played a couple of games solo with 2 or 3 characters in my team. I have to agree that the more characters you have in your team, the harder the game tend to be. I may try with more crew when I'll be fully confident in my knowledge of the rules but it seems already that it's better played with 2 or 3 people at most... and bring more only for extra challenge... throw Ash (optional character) in the pit if you really want to make your crew have the hardest time of their lives! xD As a fan of Alien, everything is about the first movie and I really enjoyed the attention to details. Many little details on the board and rules made me smile. It's really a must have for any fan. I'm only disappointed that my box got damaged during handling as it probably lost a lot of its collector value but Amazon offered a discount to apologize (i thank them very much for their kindness). The overall quality of the game is impressive. Ravensburger are not mainly in the boardgame market. They are a high quality puzzle company more than anything else. With how terrifyingly balanced was "Jurassic Park Danger", I was afraid that "Alien: Fate of the Nostromo" would have some major downsides like rules that don't make sense or don't cover all possible case scenarios (this unfortunately happens way too often with board games). I'm really surprised that so far, rules seemed to cover everything. And for the most subtle questions, most already been asked on the forums of Board Game Geek where the creator of the game himself, Scott Rogers, answered them all. Overall, a great cooperative game that will please most players, especially Alien's fans! The rules are clear and complete, the game is made with the high quality materials that Ravensburger are well known for.. all this paired with more than a decent price, it's really a good choice especially for more beginner/casual players!

A great item for Alien fans with easy to understand rule, sometimes you might get stuck with the Alien which put you in a tight situation. Might feels repetitive once you played so many times but still fun as a family games.

packaging ottimo, giocabilità non al top

Just Alien the series.. enough said
