The Shadow Planet: The Board Game
A sci-fi game of paranoia and alien horror set on a remote, desolate planet. Players take hidden roles and draw secret objectives while investigating a crashed scientific vessel and the survivors found there. Gameplay mixes deck-building with hidden identities: players acquire and modify multiple decks, move between locations to gain cards and activate special abilities, and manage resources to shape the available decks — actions that can also benefit rivals. Interaction centers on deception, alliance-building and deduction as players try to identify and stop the alien threat or, alternatively, accomplish their own secret aims.
