## Description
Conquest of Planet Earth: Apocalypse arrives as the major expansion for the original The Space Alien Game, adding even more chaos and strategy for those who love to dominate planets or rebel against invaders. The box introduces two new alien races – including the feared Martian Confederation known from Invasion from Outer Space – and a set of human allies that bolster Earth's resistance. The centerpiece is the "Coastal Resistance" deck, which adds warships, submarines and jet fighters, expanding coastal defense options. New cards for every base‑game deck accompany the fresh miniatures, allowing two extra players to join and raising the maximum player count to six. Core mechanics stay the same: action points for moving and attacking, dice rolls to resolve combat, area majority/influence control, and a modular board that can be reshuffled each session. The game remains cooperative but also permits invading factions to play against each other thanks to variable player powers. With a playtime of 30–90 minutes and a low complexity (weight 2.6/5), it’s perfect for players seeking a tense yet accessible sci‑fi horror experience with miniatures. If you already enjoy the base game or like alien‑invasion titles with plenty of action and tactical choices, Apocalypse is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
