Alien Frontiers: Big Box

Players compete to develop and colonize a newly discovered planet by acquiring resources, constructing facilities, and claiming orbital and surface territories. The game combines dice-as-action-placement mechanics with faction abilities and modular expansions that add new ships, buildings, and asymmetric powers. Players roll and place dice to take actions, expand their colony, and race to meet victory conditions while interacting on shared boards and orbital tracks. The boxed collection bundles the base game with multiple faction and expansion packs, offering additional components, adversaries, and scenarios for varied setups and longer campaigns.
