Ripley´s Nightmare is a Sci-Fi Horror Roll & Write with a 3 chapter mini campaign.
In this game you are Mary Ripley, engineer and space marine, trying to repair your space ship and fight off an alien species that is trying to kill you and destroy the ship.
You have a game sheet for each chapter, a pen plus 5 dice.
Roll the dice and assign the numbers to various fields on the page to fight, repair and manage your oxygene level. All the while the aliens advance on a track and when it is completed you lose.
So each turn you roll the five dice, mark the alien progress (if any) and mark your action(s) on the game sheet. Then roll again.
In the first chapter you need to save the crew and repair the ship, in the 2nd you fight the aliens and in the last chapter you fight the alien queen. There are also other character cards to have more replayability.
Can you rescue the crew and take all aliens?
