ALIEN: Fate of the Nostromo is a cooperative board game based on the 1979 film "ALIEN." Players take on the roles of Nostromo crew members—Ripley, Brett, Dallas, Lambert, or Parker—working together to navigate the ship, collect supplies, and craft items while avoiding the Alien. The game includes variable objectives and five possible final missions, with the option to add Science Officer Ash for increased difficulty.
The game features thematic artwork on the board, cards, tokens, and player mats, along with detailed miniatures. A step-by-step rulebook with diagrams is included, and an online tutorial is available via the "Watch It Played: ALIEN Fate of the Nostromo" YouTube video.
Contents: 1 Nostromo game board, 5 player reference cards, 5 Crew placards, 5 Crew figures, 1 Alien figure, 1 Morale marker, 21 Encounter cards, 10 Objective cards, 5 Final Mission cards, 20 Scrap tokens, 12 Item tokens, 6 Coolant Canister tokens, 13 Concealed tokens, 1 Self-Destruct track, 4 Countdown tokens, 1 Ash standee, and a rulebook.
Things to Keep in MindThe most frequent criticisms highlight the game's unbalanced difficulty, which escalates significantly with more players, and a perceived lack of long-term replayability due to repetitive objectives and a singular winning strategy. Some users also note issues with rule clarity and the condition of the game's packaging or components upon arrival. Why You'll Like ItMany players find the game visually impressive with detailed components, appreciating its ease of learning and the engaging initial experience it offers, particularly for fans of the Alien franchise.
