Inspired by the 1950's sci-fi movie genre, players take on the role of one of 4 alien races, to dish out vengeance on their captors, the humans. Be it through conquest, abduction, or plain 'ole vaporizing! All of these can garner you Points, but you'll have to move fast as the humans are developing The Doomsday Device, or might drop you the A-Bomb!
On your turn you'll use cards to move, mitigate action dice, and plan your action that round. Will you conquer a location to use its benefits? (Area Control), Abduct humans for the end game points(Set Collection), or plain ole' vaporize them for points? Don't forget your initial mission on Earth as these secret Objectives can put you over the edge and win! The game ends when either all players have orbited, or the humans devellop the Doomsday Device or dropped the A-Bomb! Do you want to risk getting extra points, or will this be the round the humans will capture you once again?(Press Your Luck).
