Alien Artifacts: Alien Base Promo

Alien Artifacts: Alien Base Promo adds a bite‑size side challenge to the core Alien Base game. The product includes four double‑sided tiles; one side displays a fragment of the enigmatic alien base, the other side reveals a specific threat. When placed face‑down, the tiles form a hidden larger base; flipping one uncovers a hazard such as technology card blockage, ship‑crippling contamination, or a planetary plague. During play, instead of attacking the standard alien system card, players may opt to assault the Alien Base, reveal a tile and confront the surprise challenge. Each defeated threat awards 2‑4 victory points, rewarding risk‑taking. Core mechanics remain unchanged: hand management, open drafting, set collection, and variable phase order, all wrapped in a sci‑fi, space‑exploration theme. The expansion is compact (four tiles) and integrates seamlessly with the base rules, adding strategic variety without extending the roughly 60‑minute playtime for 2‑5 players. If you enjoy tactical choices, thematic surprises, and want to spice up your fight against the alien menace, this promo is a solid addition.
