📖 About This Game
You are Ellen Ripley, the last survivor of the spaceship Nostromo. There is an Alien onboard hunting you and you must finish a few things before abandoning the ship.
In this solo game you have to finish 3 Missions on 3 different Locations to win. Game is consistent of 54 cards split into:
Mission Items
Special items
Locations (Missions)
Close Call cards
Alien cards
Main Character (Ellen Ripley)
Game Turn and Objective:
Each turn you can do one of the actions from the Main Character card. Those actions are:
Move then draw one card
Move then use one cards
Draw two cards
You always draw cards from the Nostromo deck.
Your objective is to collect enough Mission Items for 3 Missions written on Location cards. If you manage to do that before the Nostromo deck runs out, or the Main character dies, you win the game.
Each card you draw goes into your hand. Your hand size is 4, so if you have to take more cards, you have to discard some from your hand. Discarded cards go out of the game.
When moving your character moves from one adjacent Location to another. If you are at the end of the column or row, you may ‘wrap around’ by moving from the rightmost to the leftmost Location (or from the bottom to the top if you set your game in a column fashion).
You always use cards from your hand. In case of the Mission Items, just place them near the Location. In case of the Special Items, most of them are discarded out of the game one used.
