Upper Deck Legendary Encounters: an Alien Expansion Game for204 months to 10000 months

Amazing. A must buy

Great great deck building game. All four movies are included. Many reply options. Wife loves it and can be played ok with 2 people but 3 is about the sweet spot and four is good. Double tough with five. Expensive but hundred of cards great mat and many many wears to play. Try playing with every Ripley from each move for a fun variation. Get this if you like games.

Great expansion! A bunch of stuff but the stand out to me is the two new locations and the three decks for each. New characters, avatars, drones, strikes, and playable queen for PvP.

I like it, but I do have some issues. First, the general information and good: The package adds much more gameplay to the already existing Legendary Encounters: Aliens. The game comes with two new missions which are exclusive stories to this game, two new characters for each of the existing campaigns, more Ripley cards, new drones, strike cards, avatars, hard mode to each campaign, and a playable queen with her own barracks deck, alien cards and play mat. The new barracks characters are great because they add new abilities to the deck and can be swapped out for others. The new campaigns or missions are fun and the new aliens and hive cards give aliens new abilities to add more challenges. Those new avatars have some really cool abilities. The given: cards come in four separate sealed packs and are not in any order, just like the core game. However, since you have separated the core game, it is far less confusing. The game also comes with dividers and foam blocks to separate the cards and organize. All the expansion cards do fit into the old box. The bad: this games biggest weakness to me is set up and take down times. These new cards do nothing to reduce that, but actually increase the time it takes to set up and take the game down. The new cards change how the entire game is played regardless of whether or not you use the new cards because, drone decks are set up differently and you can only have 4 characters in your barracks deck (you can have 6, but that is if you are playing with one player as the queen). Now you have to separate the barracks characters if you plan on swapping out any of the characters for new ones. You also have to be careful because some characters lack certain qualities, like stars, that make the game more difficult. Also, the card quality appears to be the same as the original game, so buy sleeves because, based on my original game, the card quality will go bad fairly quickly. In all honesty, this game is still a blast and with the new cards adds more depth to the game for more replay-ability. However, set up and take down, to me, have always kept me from playing this game more and this expansion just made it more of a pain. That is the only reason it is a 3 and not a 5 star review. I get excited about playing, then realize I spend more time setting up and putting it away.

This is the first deck building game Ive ever purchased. Not my first time playing. The packaging is simple and the play mat is awesome. Its like a giant mouse pad. The art on the cards are very amusing and very brutal, just how you should want it with the Alien series. The only thing I dont like is organizing all the cards into the specific decks. It took a few hours just to be able to set up the game! But once the cards are organized, the game offers alot of deviders. So its one and done. Just wish the cards came organized! Great time. I do recommend

Many cards, 2 new scenarios, the hard mode, the soldiers and new characters... plus the queen mother. Listen to me if you like the base game this expansion is a must for the content and the increased replay factor of an already high longevity game.

Play as the alien queen. If thats not enough, 8 new barrack characters plus alien queen play mat And 2 new scenarios excelente product

Really fun game, if you need a few hours to kill.

What a great expansion! This expansion allows for another player to play as the Queen complete with her own decks and playing mat. I typically play this game solo though so you can utilize most of the cards in that way as well. If you are familiar with Legendary Encounters then you could certainly come up with some variations for many of the cards too. Its a lot in the box and worth the money no matter how you play the game.

Legendary Encounters: Alien quickly became one of my favorite games to play. After several playthroughs I decided to seek out the expansion and Ive been very happy with the content. This expansion adds more missions and hard modes for each mission including hard modes for all the base game missions, which I thought was great. This is the first Legendary game I have purchased where I did not have enough dividers for the cards given. Luckily enough, I had plenty from my other Legendary games, so be aware of that. If you enjoyed the base game Legendary Encounters: Alien, I highly recommend picking this up as well.
