ALIEN: Fate of the Nostromo

Players assume the roles of Nostromo crew members trying to survive and escape while an Alien prowls the ship. On each turn players take Crew Actions to move through corridors, collect scrap, craft and use improvised items, trade with teammates, and activate character abilities. An Encounter phase then introduces threats and events as cards reveal the Alien's presence and other hazards that affect crew morale. The group works toward personal objectives and then a shared final mission that must be completed simultaneously to win. Optional rules add an antagonistic Science Officer that disrupts resources and drains morale.
