## Description
Alien Frontiers: Expansion Pack #4 arrives as the fourth installment of the supplement series that originally debuted as a single "Promo Pack" on the fourth‑edition Kickstarter. Game Salute is gradually releasing these packs to retail, and this one adds a blend of cards that expand the strategic and thematic options of the base game. Inside the box you’ll find four new Alien Tech cards – Nano‑Recycler, Null‑Time Vault, Probability Focus, and Resonating Beacon – which can be shuffled into the technology decks to create fresh combos. The set also includes three Faction Reference cards (Gaia Engineers, Proxima Centauri, and Scavenger Fleet) to remind players of each faction’s unique abilities, plus two Agenda cards for use with Alien Frontiers: Factions, extending the political decision‑making already present. For the DIY crowd, there are two blank Alien Tech cards and one blank Agenda card ready for custom rules. The content preserves the core mechanics of Area Majority/Influence, Worker Placement, and Dice Rolling, while adding new layers of choice and replayability. With a light weight (2.38/5) and an approximate 90‑minute playtime, the expansion is approachable for newcomers and veterans alike. In short, it’s a compact package that enriches the experience without bogging down the flow, perfect for players seeking more tech and agenda variety without a massive purchase. If you already own the base game, opening this pack is a worthwhile way to explore new synergies – especially if you love shaping strategies around area control and dice‑driven resource management.
