   This is a well thought out, easy to learn, FUN AS HELL TO PLAY game that is massively satisfying to play. 100% worth the wait and the cost of admission. Totally captures all of the themes and tropes we love about the ALIENS franchise. Fair warning though: assembly most definitely required. I point this out because I read a sour review about this and felt the guy was over reacting… but after getting my hands on the game, I fully realize he wasn’t. The miniatures in this set require actual assembly with actual glue and tools. As an experienced modeler, I was prepared for this. To a novice, this can present an unappreciated challenge. To a customer with no hobby experience or interest, this is game over man. Other than the miniatures, the rest of the game takes no time at all to put together.

   The game is high quality. All of the counters, game dials, character cards, and game boards are printed on thick card. Really heavy duty. Each piece pops out of the board cleanly with no damage to the counter. I love the feel of these things. The Marine models are super easy to assemble. The Alien models are easy to assemble with the exception of the tails. The tails are impossible to install. Each tail has a tiny nub that is supposed to match an indentation on the models butt. It took me hours to install 3 tails before I gave up. Threw the rest of the tails away. The models do not look too bad without tails.

   I would recommend watching a few YouTube vids after reading the rules to get the feel of the game. Once you get used to game flow, its a fast paced game that can go from “We are doing great” to “Game over, man ! ” in a single blip draw. It can be played alone, and Its fun to do, but 2-3 players makes a great game.

   I would recommend this to anyone, those tails, they really suck. you can use a pin or some such modification, but we shouldn’t have to do that.

   Game is awesome, however upon removing the plastic and opening the box, was met with a torn corner from top to bottom (as seen in photo). This is very careless handling, obviously from wharehouse storage. I’m planning on actually playing and enjoying this game, and have no intention of keeping it as a collectible, so not going to pursue the matter any further, but suffice to say was a little disappointed to see that this was sealed up, already damaged like this.

   A caixa do jogo é importante que esteja em ótimas condições também, veio apenas embalada com um saco cinza, nem plástico bolha, resultado, veio com um enorme amassado na frente.

   My Aliens greatgrandson loves the Alien movie and hope he will remember he watched them first with me. I completed the collection for him and he loves it! Nuff said!

   I gifted this to my wife for her birthday and she has been really happy with the minifig assembly and the gameplay. For anyone else looking to get this game she recommends using Mr. Cement S liquid cement for plastic models to put everything together and she is using acrylic paints. We have been enjoying the campaign and will be looking to buy the expansions soon. At some points during the gameplay the directions are somewhat vague but the manufacturer website has a FAQ document that clears everything up.

   This is a great game. Not too complicated, but also not too easy. It hits a nice sweet spot between crunch, tactics, and ease of play. While the miniatures inside need to be assembled it is not that difficult to do so and most just need an arm or a gun glued on and then attached to their base. For most miniature gamers assembly will be a snap. For non-miniature gamers, assembly might be a bit annoying, but nothing major. Overall the game is very fun and can be challenging. It’s worth the purchase for board gamers and minaiture gamers alike. Plus it’s a must-have for fans of the movies.

   Ich habe etliche Regalfächer voll mit Brettspielen aller Art. Lizenzspiele sind leider allzu oft nicht sonderlich gut, jedoch ist das hier ganz anders.

   Die Atmosphäre ist grandios. Das Feeling des zweiten Films wurde hier perfekt eingefangen. Man sitzt mit Freunden und Familie zusammen und fürchtet jeden aufblinkenden Ping im Motion Tracker. Man überlegt sich jeden Schuss genau, da die Munition zu schnell ausgehen kann und diskutiert oft länger die nächsten Schritte als man eigentlich die Figuren bewegt. All dies und obendrauf noch die bekannten und gefürchteten Aliens, schaffen ein phänomenales Kooperationserlebnis. Wir haben irrsinnig viel Spaß mit dem Spiel und haben gleich noch die Erweiterungen dazu gekauft und in mühevoller Kleinstarbeit die Figuren bemalt. – Fummelig aber jede Minute Arbeit wert 😉

    The box claims there’s 16 multipose aliens, but I only received 12. Idk if I’m wrong but 4 aliens are missing

    

11. Jay Verified Buyer – 15 April 2025

    Unfortunately I was missing 4 aliens, after I made all my miniatures I quickly realized the box said 16 aliens and I only had 12. I was missing a sprue for an additional 4 aliens which was disheartening as I had already made the rest of them. Other than that the game itself is enjoyable and interesting, just upset because it seems to be an issue with boardgamesweekly.com shipping these out open and with missing components. In hindsight I did notice my box had come with the plastic seal a bit torn which might have been a sign that it had been opened prior.

    If you are an Aliens fanatic AND a hobbyist, thia game is a dream come true. I have assembled piles of models and minis from Games Workshop and other companies and these models are on par in terms of quality, detail and ease of assembly. I cannot wait to paint these. Card and paper components are hefty and printed in very good detail and resolution. NOTE.. If you do not enjoy the hobby aspect of gaming, i.e. meticulously clipping and assembling miniatures you may not enjoy this. I would say a moderate dexterity and experience would be ideal for this game. If you are unfamiliar with spru models do yourself a favor and get some spru snips/side cutters. Dont think about it, just get em… You can use a hobby knife to remove these from the sprues if you have a skilled hand but a decent 10 dollar pair of snips will save you much agony and time. As far as gameplay, it has a slight feel of nostalgia in regards to the old Leading Edge, Aliens board game. If you arent familiar with it, hit google. Its a long out of print classic that the minis for this game could also be used for. Solo/coop play is frankly ideal for the current state of the world given the need for social distancing. This game will be a grand slam for some an a frustration for others depending on expectation.

    This game has received a few unfair knocks for the amount of assembly required, and there is a lot. However, the game pieces are intricately detailed, something you simply couldn’t get with a single-piece molding. The marines will need a touch of paint to really shine, whereas then aliens can simply be assembled and left alone.

    The gameplay is fantastic and reminds me of a similar game I purchased years ago. The rules are straightforward and easy to follow, and situations can get tense very quickly. Played out a couple scenarios with a friend multiple times with vastly different results each time.

    This is an excellent board game and made with a lot of fan service in mind. Well made miniatures, quality components, and the hobby aspect makes it well worth it.

    This game perfectly recreates and immerses it’s players in the world of Aliens. Though the miniatures were a hassle to put together, the sheer quality of the minis, makes it worth while. The game was easy to learn and teach. Best of all the cooperative aspect of the game makes sure everyone is having fun, rather than just the ones winning. Overall this game is a blast to play, as long as you are ok with “some assembly required.”
