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

Great product and fast delivery!

Legendary Encounters: An Alien Deck Building Game is hand down the best game in the Legendary system of games. Its intense, and draws you in just like the Alien movies did. This new expansion adds some new and engaging innovations, while still offering the same intensity and fun. First of all there are many new avatar/role cards to choose from, each with their own unique abilities. There are also new kinds of strike cards, new locations, and new alien decks to play out. There are several new key words as well, like flying, which allows aliens to fly above the complex, and enhanced, in which players draw a hero card from the barracks, and whatever symbol it boasts then corresponds to some special ability on the alien card- giving the game and that scenario tons of replayability. There are some new key words that first appeared in Legendary Encounters: Firefly, like ranged, which allows aliens to strike from the complex instead of the combat zone, and stationary, in which the alien card does not move through the complex when revealed. The biggest innovation here is the ability for one player to play as the alien queen, turning the cooperative game into an all on one game (the core game has something similar, but not nearly as much fun). The queen player has his own player mat and deck of cards that he can recruit, and he can spend attack to attack a player directly, force him to discard card, add a card from the hive deck to the complex, or steal a card from the HQ that will later attack players. Playing with the queen player is a lot of fun, but know that this game is very hard even without somebody actively working against you. Playing against the alien to win is almost impossible, so the rulebook offers a scoring system depending on how far the humans got in the game. This game has always been more about the journey, however, and what an absolutely fantastic journey it is. Legendary Encounters: An Alien Deck Building Game is probably my favorite deck builder of all time, and this expansion adds a lot of fun, new stuff for your game. Do you need it? Of course not. If you like the core game fine as is, then dont bother. But if youre like me, and enjoying having a ton of options for your games, and enjoy watching each scenario evolve in its own way, I think youll really enjoy what this expansion has to offer. I highly recommend it. The Discriminating Gamer

Great game but not everyone will like it. The game mechanic is fine but this game kicks butts. We have never win once and it can be very discouraging.

I have to recommend this expansion. There is a ton of content. I already love LE Alien. This expansion adds more drones, strikes, and locations. My favorite part, the addition of a Hard Mode for all previous locations and Soldiers. If you want to amp up the difficulty level for the base game, you must have this. I am a player that doesnt want to win all the time. These new materials will ensure that doesnt happen often. All of the expansion cards will fit in the base game box. There are enough dividers for the new cards. I could not get the new mat to fit in the box though.

A great addition to the base game.

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.

This is easily my favorite deck building game I own. You build a deck by using character cards of characters from the first four films. You work together or by yourself to successfully complete objectives and survive multiple alien attacks. Ive played through the first 3 films, each having their own objectives that follow each films story, and have not survived a single game. That doesnt stop me from playing it again and again. The only downside I have is some of the art isnt great. The characters look weird, but thats totally fine with a game this fun.

Great product. Arrived just as expected. Very satisfied with purchase.

Fantastic expansion to an already great first game!
