Alien Uprising

A crashed crew establishes perimeter force fields and scrambles to recover scattered ship parts while waves of alien "bug" creatures close in. Players take on unique crew roles and select actions each turn—combat, engineering, scouting, healing, reloading, or a wild action—after a first player rolls custom dice that also reveal alien movement and constrain available options. The group must cooperate to retrieve debris, repair ship systems and the hull, and either hold out until a rescue arrives or complete repairs and lift off before being overwhelmed. Difficulty and character skills adjust challenge and replayability.
