Celebrating over 10 years of Alien Frontiers, Alien Frontiers Edition X offers the quintessential experience of this beloved dice-placement game.

An alien frontier awaits the brave and daring! This new planet will be harsh, but if you have the skills to manage your resources, build a fleet, research alien technology, and settle colonies, the world can be yours!

Alien Frontiers is a strategic board game of resource management and planetary development for two to four players. During the game you will exploit orbital facilities and alien technology, building colony domes in strategic locations to control territory in the newly discovered world.

With new expansion content, you can explore new strategies and outwit your opponents in this colony quest. Upgrade your playstyle and take the challenge of this outer space strategy game.

Includes the new Data Core Expansion, Factions, Agendas, Outer Belt, and additional expansion pack material to elevate the gameplay thrill and strategy.

Dicey Spaceship

Looks great with good quality dice, tokens, cardboard and cards. Fun worker placement style game.
During your turn It's fun to try and figure out how you can get the much out of your dice placement. Down side, it is not really possible to plan your turns ahead of time so the game paces out like no one is paying attention.
Good game as far as strategy feel but not great if you are higher player counts and your group struggles with downtime.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
