Do
you have what it takes to be a deep space colonist? An alien frontier
awaits the brave and daring! This new planet will be harsh, but if you
have the skills to manage your resources, build a fleet, research alien
life, and settle colonies, the world can be yours.
Alien Frontiers is a game of resource
management and planetary development for two to four players. During the
game you will utilize orbital facilities and alien technology to build
colony domes in strategic locations to control the newly discovered
world.
The game board shows the planet, its moon, the stations in orbit
around the planet, and the solar system’s star. The dice you are given
at the start of the game represent the space ships in your fleet. You
will assign these ships to the orbital facilities in order to earn
resources, expand your fleet, and colonize the planet.
As the game progresses, you will place your colony tokens on the
planet to represent the amount of control you have over each territory.
Those territories exert influence over specific orbital facilities and,
if you control a territory, you are able to utilize that sway to your
advantage.
The planet was once the home of an alien race and they left behind a
wondrous artifact in orbit. Using your fleet to explore the artifact,
you will discover amazing alien technologies that you can use to advance
your cause.
Winning the game will require careful consideration as you assign
your fleet, integrate the alien technology and territory influences into
your expansion plans, and block your opponents from building colonies
of their own. Do you have what it takes to conquer an alien frontier?
Roll and place your dice to gain advantages over your opponent and
block them out of useful areas of the board. Use Alien Tech cards to
manipulate your dice rolls and territory bonuses to break the rules.
Steal resources, overtake territories, and do whatever it takes to get
your colonies on the map first! Don’t dream it’ll be easy, though,
because the other players will be trying to do the same thing.
