About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of ROVE and looking to spice up your space explorations, the 'Alien Activities' pack is for you! This expansion introduces some clever new movement cards that make your modules behave in unexpected ways, following the rules of a specific module. It's like the local aliens gave your ship a souped-up 'upgrade,' but in a somewhat chaotic and fun manner.
The setup is straightforward: grab the new cards, shuffle them in with the base game cards, and you're good to go. The setup follows the standard of the main game, but with this extra hint of novelty that can completely change your strategies. Prepare to rethink your moves, because these alien activities aren't here to play games! It's a great addition for those who want more variety and different challenges in the ROVE universe, maintaining that quick and direct feel we love. Perfect for a quick play session, but with that 'I need one more!' feeling.
