Initial rating after one play. Great thematic fun. Not sure how much of a game there is. We played where one player became an alien. The alien cards were ridiculously powerful and tore the rest of us apart. But we did get to the last objective and see it. But then died.

Second game. Much more of a game. Played the same scenario so we knew what was coming. As a result felt less thematic and less fun. I'm keen to play the other scenarios, but some if the others thought it was too long.

This game is full of theme! With the changes from marvel legendary it makes the game better.

Fantastic deck building game that drips with an Aliens theme. Play the first four movies in the series and see if you can survive the Alien onslaught. I mostly play this solo, which is pretty easy to do two-handed. This is a tense nail biter to see if you can survive to the end. I didn't think I would like deck builders, but Upper Deck has proven me wrong!

Challenging and tense deckbuilding game. Art is good, but has a lot of blood and gore so it may not be for everyone. Wish it came with setup randomisers.

Theme theme theme, it's dripping with it. Good components, the mat is amazing, and the game mechanics just thrust you into exciting cooperative and thrilling game play. A must have.

(edit to add)I have to say, the more we play this, the more enjoyable it is for me. Yes it is fun, but it is actually exciting and stressful. The solid mechanics really let the theme saturate the game experience. We especially love the times that we are certain that we are about to fail, and we manage to eek out a miraculous victory.
