Get Ready for Some Cosmic Fun Because Alien Run is Out of This World! Think you have a plan? Think again! Strategic thinking will be challenged around every bend. What is Alien Run? Alien Run is a fast-paced strategic board game full of bizarre twist and turns. You can either play independent or with allies. During the race each player can be detoured by an opponent. The play of a Trump Card, Mystery Card, or landing on a Wormhole can send you into a galactic U-Turn. The secret to success is strategy. The player with the most orbs wins the game. It may sound easy, but it's not. Your strategic thinking will be challenged around every bend. Each Player begins the game without Orbs, Trump Cards or Mystery Cards. That's right, empty handed. Players can collect Orbs from either game spaces, other players, Trump Cards, or Mystery Cards. Players have the opportunity to purchase Trump Cards from the bank to add to their arsenal, however there are purchasing rules. The Trump Cards are used for offensive and defensive plays during the game play. The secret to success is strategy, so keep your cards hidden and try to make some allies. Remember, it's not about who finishes first but who finishes with the most Orbs. The enticing bonus structure maybe just what a player needs to finish in the lead and be declared the winner. So get the popcorn ready, four players can finish in forty-five minutes. Game night will never be the same. I almost forgot.... Don't get distracted by the hidden images in the game board. What a player misses can send them orbiting in the wrong direction. Stay focused and Alien Run victory can be had.
