Who it's for

Alien franchise fans and cooperative gaming groups who love tension-filled deck builders. The hidden traitor element adds paranoia that perfectly matches the source material.

Not for you if…

Players uncomfortable with horror themes or character death. The randomness of deck building can sometimes lead to frustrating losses.
