Alien Exiles is a quick card game, where players, as members of a planetary government, try to avoid occupation by aliens while scheming and plotting, using or abusing their power to send aliens to other “friendly” planets to eliminate them. Last man standing is the winner! A player must perform two actions on each of their turn and each action can be either play a card or draw a card. Players are trying avoid being occupied by aliens by either using government cover ups, sending them back to their planet (draw pile) or using "custom" travel papers to send them to other players. The number of aliens needed for a player to be eliminated depends on the number of players. The game ends once all other players are eliminated and only one is standing. —description from the designer
