Ready to become a deep space colonist? In Alien Frontiers, you and your friends dive headfirst into exploring a newly discovered planet, a wild place that only the boldest will manage to master. The game involves managing resources, expanding your fleet of ships (represented by dice!), researching alien technologies, and, of course, establishing colonies in strategic locations to ensure total control of the new world. The game board is a spectacle in itself, showcasing the planet, its moon, orbital stations, and even the system's star. Your dice are your ships, and you'll assign them to orbital facilities to collect resources, expand your fleet, and ultimately colonize the planet. As you progress, you'll place your colony domes on the map, marking your influence over territories. And the best part? These territories give you extra leverage at certain orbital facilities, which you can use to your advantage! Oh, and we can't forget the mysterious alien artifact in orbit, left behind by an ancient race. Exploring it with your fleet reveals incredible technologies that can turn the game in your favor. Winning in Alien Frontiers demands a keen eye for strategy: where to place your ships, how to leverage alien technology and territorial influence, and how to block your opponents from building their own colonies. Get ready to roll dice, manipulate results with alien tech cards, and use territory bonuses to bend the rules. Steal resources, overtake territories, and do whatever it takes to be the first to dominate this new world. But beware: your rivals won't make it easy for you!
