Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space

Players take roles as either human survivors or alien hunters aboard a dark, damaged research ship and keep their identities secret. Each player records covert movement on a hex-grid map sheet and reveals positions only when forced by drawn cards or when entering hazardous sectors. Movement is written simultaneously and resolved in turn order; drawing cards in gray sectors triggers actions that make players tell the truth or lie about their locations. Humans try to reach escape hatches and flee the ship, while aliens attempt to locate and eliminate the humans by interpreting others’ moves and behavior.
