Review
"From out of these simple rules comes a tangible, choking, paralysing terror. This game is a diamond. Pure, hard and glorious . . . a triumph of design." ―Shut Up and Sit Down"Absolutely, fantastically fun to play." ―Tom Vasel, The Dice Tower"This is a great game when the power goes out!" - Jorge Garcia, from Lost and Hawaii Five-O"This game is a blast! . . . Great game! So much so that I'm keeping it in my gaming library." - Game Boy Geek"I believe it can turn into a very intense game where you might just out think yourself." - Through Gamers' Goggles"So engaging all the way along . . . a great, thematic, interesting game." - Toucan Play that Game"I love the box design, the use of the dry-erase map pads, and the card illustrations. And I like the way they tried to engineer a mechanic that would generate feelings of fear and claustrophobia . . . an entertaining game with lovely artwork, high production values, and a fun and unique hidden movement mechanic." - Gareth Branwyn, Boing Boing"I definitely highly recommend this." - Drive Thru Review"This game is something special." - The Board Game Review"It's a lot of fun! I really enjoyed this game." - Discriminating Game (TDG)"Very cool and super fun game with a group and an excellent gateway game for non-gamer's." - theMCGuiRE review"A cracking hidden role and hidden movement that is a staple to any shelf. . . . Every time it's brought to the table every single player will have fun and it's a great strategy game for both veterans and first timers." - n3rdabl3"This is a great example of what a game can be in 2016." - Ghettoblaster"A map, markers, and a few cards are able to create a tension filled game of bluffing and logic. The game is truly greater than the sum of its parts. The easy to learn rules and meaningful decisions will keep players engaged and tense as they try to escape or attack." - BoardGameGeek News"The website scenario tool and map editor are really nice. Customers have commented to us about it, and I have also checked them out and like the many options to create countless maps." - Gamers World"It's a great, great game!" - No Rules Review“I thought this game was a lot of fun. The production is stellar. I think it's just amazingly pretty.†- The Secret Cabal“If you are a fan of either of the gaming mechanics, Hidden Traitor, or Hidden Movement, then you will enjoy adding this game to your shelf! We think that the easy set-up and the lack of tokens, counters, figures, and a board also makes a great 'Gateway Game' to bring people into the wonderful world of horror tabletop games!†- Two-Gun Pixie"If you like hidden movement and, err, eating humans--well, this is the game for you." - Ars Technica, "Game on! The best board games of 2016""If you like game that incorporate imaginative play, you’ll want to have Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space in your collection." - Sahm Reviews"It's always an experience, and it's completely unlike any game out there." - Actualol"My recommendation is that if your group loves Letters from Whitechapel, lives and breathes Battlestar Galactica, and washes it down with The Resistance, then you have a winner here. Escape from the Aliens of Outer Space sits nicely in the realm of hidden movement and hidden role games, providing a large depth of immersion for a game that is so very easy to learn that exceeds at higher player counts for a true experience game." - Troll in the Corner"If you like games that incorporate imaginative play, you’ll want to have Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space in your collection." - Scott Brady, SAHM Reviews". . . a tight, tense hunt in the darkness, working out where other players might be and who they are through deduction. Throw in some item cards and (optional) variable role cards and you have one sweat-inducing game." - Ars Cardboard

As a hidden role/deduction board-gamer enthusiast, this is a great game. Here are my thoughts:* THEME: Excellent. You really feel as though you are in a zone on a spaceship trying to either escape from aliens or that you are a flesh-eating alien hunting your human prey...all in the dark. Makes for very intense gaming, keeping you on the edge of your seat like a horror movie...just awesome.* BALANCE: Sometimes in two-sided games the sides are not balanced. Not so here. I feel there is a great balance between the aliens and the humans. The card selection sometimes favors the humans, sometimes not, sometimes the aliens, sometimes not. Additionally, in even-numbered games, there is an equal amount of aliens and humans (3 to 8 players). If there is an odd number, you have one more alien than humans. This makes for an even-tensioned game throughout.* REPLAYABILITY: Excellent. There are 8 "zones" that you can play in on the spaceship, which is chosen by the group before play begins. Some of the zones have an open floor plan, some are more linear, some are bigger, some are smaller, etc. The instruction manual includes a description of each zone and a suggested amount of players for each zone. NOTE: The instruction MANUAL incorrectly matched a couple of the zone names with the wrong picture of the zone (specifically, I'm guessing that the pictures for the Fermi and Galvani zones in the instructional booklet should be reversed). It appears that the dry-erase BOOKLET has the CORRECT name and picture combination. Also, my copy came with only 7 books (there should be 8)...so check to see that you received all 8 books. I contacted Osprey and they are sending me the additional book...very good and quick customer service from England.Another bit to add here: You can play a "basic" game or an "advanced" game. The basic game disregards (i) items that are found on the spaceship and (ii) disregards character abilities for both humans and aliens. Of course, you can "house rule" this game and play with items, but not character abilities, or character abilities and not items, for an "intermediate" game. This adds another whole couple of layers of re-playabiltiy. Since there are more characters than players, and since character roles are drawn randomly, this also adds more excitement to each game.* COMPONENT QUALITY: In this "ultimate" edition, you have a book that works with dry-erase markers...much better then the prior version that included paper versions of the zones. The cards are just "ok." This is the one item where I feel there should be better quality. I sleeved my cards with the GREEN Fantasy Flight card sleeves for additional protection. After doing so, all fits in the box still, but snugly. After I receive my 8th dry-erase booklet (see above), I may need more room to fit my sleeved cards, at which point I'll tear down the cardboard compartments. I suppose this could be another small gripe (for all board game publishers)...please make your game boxes/containers large enough to accommodate sleeved cards. I'd rather not tear out the box's innards, but I'll do it to fit my sleeved cards.* FUN FACTOR: Very high. In the beginning, no one knows who is who. For those of you that get jazzed about hidden roles, this creates so much fun and laughter...trying to guess who is who.While I would describe this game as "2-sided," it is not necessarily "2-teamed," particularly for the humans. Here is why: There are 4 escape pods in the zone you are playing. There are 5 "escape pod cards" that are shuffled and placed face down on the table. When a human lands on an escape pod, which are numbered 1-4, that human announces that he has landed on "pod #___," then he draws an escape pod card. Four of these cards are green (you escape in that pod)...one is red (the pod malfunctioned). If a pod is used, now the other remaining humans have one less pod to use to escape (tons of fun, particularly when you escape as the first human and then other humans are like "Dang, only 3 pods left where 1 could be damaged.") All of the humans don't need to escape for the other escaped humans to win.Escape pods are unusable when (i) a human uses one to escape or (ii) a human draws the one red escape pod card. As a human, you already feel a huge amount of tension as you try to escape the zone in the dark. However, this tension increases as escape pods become unusable. If you play with 2 or 3 people (this game plays 2 to 8), there is only one human. Therefore, once you escape as a human, it's game over. While this is still a huge amount of fun, I really like the "extra" tension that humans feel when there are 2 or more humans (need 4 to 8 players) and another human successfully escapes the zone, leaving less pods available. Tons of fun.Additionally, aliens can kill each other (usually by accident). Therefore, humans and aliens are "kind of" on the same team, but "kind of not." This is a very interesting dynamic.* CONS: I already alluded to them above, but here they are at quick glance: Would have liked better card quality and a larger box to more comfortably fit sleeved cards.This game is full of tension, full of fun, and full of laughs.All in all, this is great game of hidden deduction and role-playing with strong edge-of-your-seat tension throughout. I recommend for family and game groups, particularly if you like hidden role/deduction games.PS: As of this review, there is one 3-star review for a "dirty" instructional book and a scuffed box. I would not let this review dissuade you from buying this game. First, the scuffed up box sounds like a shipping problem, which would not relate to the publisher of the game if not purchased through Osprey, and even if it was, a scuffed up box should not be, in my opinion, related to the game itself. At least rate the game on Amazon with the "stars" and have a separate star rating in the body of the review if the shipping negatively impacts you. Second, I saw that Joseph from Osprey responded to this reviewer and said he would gladly ship out a new instructional booklet. I happened to notice that this is the same fellow that helped me and he did so within 12 hours of being emailed. I also don't feel that dirty instructions should be combined in the rating that includes a rating on the actual gameplay.P.S.S. Since I'm seeing an explosion of reviews wrought with a conflict of interest and bias: I paid full price for this product. This is a REAL review, not a "Vine" review and I was NOT given this product at a discount "in exchange for an honest review" (really wish Amazon would prohibit such reviews).
This is great hidden Movement game!Having played several other hidden movement games (specter Ops, Fury of Drac, Scotland Yard) this game solves the biggest problem all those had, who gets to be the hidden person, because everyone is moving in secret! The game play is very simple so even our lighter gamers picked it up quickly and enjoyed it but there is still a lot of challenge and strategy in what you do so the “hardcore†players enjoy it. They have added several good mechanics in the job classes for each race and the random noise cards/Items that give the game some extra fun. The other big bonus of this game is that it plays up to 8 people. I can say that it scales very well between 5 or 8 people.The quality of the materials is also great, the dry erase maps clean off well and the pens still work after a dozen plays. The card stock is typical of games nowadays so if you know you are going to play a lot it would not hurt to get some card sleeves.They offer several Maps to play and some can be a lot more challenging but gives good variety for tons of repeat plays. The game time can vary based on play style and number of players but so far we have not had a game last an hour.Overall a great great game! Works for a large range of players, easy to pick up, and fun to play. This game is a go to pick on game nights for us now.If I had to put one thing negative on here it would be that it is a coop game so it is a shared victory most the time, but we house rule in the alien with the most kills wins and a tie is broken by a death match between the aliens.
LOVE THIS. My copy was perfectly clean when it arrived, unlike the other reviewer's copy. I took it straight to a game night where I taught seven others and we all had a fantastic time. I really like the little dry erase notebooks, the tense giggles around the table, and how easy it was for everyone to pick it up since they have all played Battleship before. I am incredibly happy that I purchased this.
How do I explain all of the ways that I love this game? First off, the quality is wonderful. Not the dry erasers but those never are. The cards however are phenomenal. They’re thick and soft and I want to hold them forever.The gameplay itself can be truly kick ass. It’s like Battleship if it were a group game. And mostly silent... but that’s not my point! My point is that the gameplay is wonderful. As long as you’re playing with the right people. This is a cat and mouse game. If you’re playing with someone that can’t bluff or just isn’t intuitive/strategic it doesn’t go over super well. Admittedly, I’m not the best at strategy games but I quickly figured my way past that. And if I can, so can you. So please, buy this amazing game! You will not regret it. Ever.
I played this game years ago before the Italian company that produced it stopped. Since they are now making the deluxe edition, I decided to pick it up. It has a few additions to the rules and the dry erase boards are nice, although the marker quality leaves a lot to be desired. All in all a pretty good game. It does suffer from some AP and if an alien gets killed early in the game they might as well go make food for everyone else because they could be stuck not playing for an hour.
Love this! Loved it so much that I bought it for my sister too! There are very few games that can be played in a chair after a nursing baby falls asleep on you, but this has been so nice! I missed playing games with my husband. This was so fun just the two of us and we look forward to playing with our babies and other family in the future! Great game!
