Mint Tin Aliens

Players act as alien recruits competing in a training program on Earth to earn merit awards across four categories: sightings, crop circles, abductions and mind control. On each turn players draw two cards (from face-up, face-down, or a mix), use matching sets from their hand to complete awards or extra-credit pairs, then discard played cards. Failing to complete an award forces a die-down penalty; completing all four award types first grants meeple bonuses to scoring. Play proceeds until merit and extra-credit awards are exhausted, then players total award points, cards, meeples and their saucer die to determine the winner.
