It took us about 2-3 games before we got the hang of it, figured out how to utilize our characters' abilities correctly, etc. So, at first, we were making mistakes about how the game mechanics worked, and the aliens won all the time. Now that we know what we're doing, the humans/aliens are winning about 50/50. So the game seems well balanced.
The board looks great. The pieces look great. The cards look great. Very high quality. Very good artwork.
If you like this movie, you will like this game. If you haven't seen the movie, this game will make you want to go see it.
Extremely well done game.
This game deserves the 5 Stars for a reason, it is quite literally one of the best boardgames I've ever played.
Update:
Forgot to mention; if you buy this, try to play with at least 6 people. Games with 4 players only are almost impossible for the humans to win. Games with 5 players are really difficult but not impossible. 6 or more is a good number for a good challenge on both sides.
I've played it several times since buying it and it always proves to be an intense little board game. Part of the fun is deceiving or testifying to other players, and the different items and their uses make a different game every time you play.
Top reviews from other countries
The figurines are well sculpted and the game provides a lot of entertainment value when you're playing with 6-8 people.
After our first game we agreed we all had good fun and would try a 2nd round. The 2nd round was a blast! During our initial run all of us had been taking mental notes on how to deceive one another and implement new tactics. This led to a far more interesting take on the 2nd game.
It only gets better with each new game and will definitely be a regular go to for game night with the lads.
