About the game

What you do in a play session

Alien Frontiers: Expansion Pack #6 arrives as the sixth slice of the massive "Promo Pack" that funded the fourth edition via Kickstarter. Game Salute split the original material into six smaller packs, making retail purchase easier. This expansion adds 7 new Salvage cards – items like Cometary Fragment, Buoy Message and Orbital Debris – that slot perfectly into Alien Frontiers: Outer Belt games. It also includes 3 Alien Tech cards (Tele‑Operator, Peta‑Bit Processor and Scout Drone) for use in the base game, an Outer Belt reference card, and a set of Agenda cards that give new faction options. All components are in English, so players who need Portuguese will have to rely on translations or a spreadsheet. Familiar mechanics such as Worker Placement, Dice Rolling and Area Majority/Influence remain the core, while the new cards provide extra strategic paths and scoring chances. If you already enjoy the blend of space exploration, territory building and tactical decisions, this pack will enrich your sessions without altering the proven formula. Keep in mind that, as a supplement, it cannot be played solo – you need the base game and ideally the Outer Belt and Factions expansions to get the most out of it. In short, it’s a compact, thematic upgrade packed with cards that give your Alien Frontiers games a nice extra boost.
