Each player is an alien species with a unique power that breaks the game's rules — negotiate alliances, play cards, and race to establish five colonies in opponents' systems in this classic negotiation game.

The Essentials

  • Read every alien power carefully before the game starts, since powers can completely override the base rules
  • Negotiate deals openly at the table before committing cards — alliances are central to winning, not optional flavor
  • Don't ignore your own alien power's downside, since many powerful aliens come with a real drawback to manage
  • Watch which players are closest to five colonies and consider allying against the leader rather than the flashiest power
  • Keep some cards in reserve for a big encounter rather than spending everything on early, low-stakes ones
