Description

(Video represents an earlier revision; update coming soon)


The bugs are the scourge of the interstellar colonies. It's up to you to stop them, one infested ship at a time.

Prepare a boarding party to battle a swarm of hostile aliens in a cooperative game for 1 to 4 players.

Roll the dice and optimise your actions each turn, but be careful -- the alien swarm is approaching, and their ranks grow with each passing moment. Keep their numbers under control while you complete your mission objective, or you'll be overrun!


Choose your mission

Pick a mission from the Mission Logs booklet, and set up the map as instructed.

Complete your objective

Venture out into the ship and fight your way past the Bugs to reach your mission objective. Each turn you'll roll the dice to take actions -- You can reroll 3 times to optimise your turn, but remember that after each Hunter's turn, the swarm attacks, and increase their numbers.

Example game setup

Use the appropriate weapon to deal with each type of Bug for the best results. Complete your objective, then get back to the boarding pod to win!
