Aliens: The Board Game
It seems as though everyone has had a bit of an Alien fever with all the awesome Xenomorph themed posts and LEGO vignettes seen lately, and I am no different. Two weeks ago I got the idea to make an Aliens board game for my D&D group. We often like to play an assortment of board games and I thought I’d challenge myself to see if I could make one based off one of my favorite franchises for FUN (hear that 20th Century Fox, this is just for fun, not for resale). :)
Anyways, I’ve finally got all my items in order (i.e., board design, rule book, game tokens and, of course, LEGO built characters). Now I want to stress that I did not develop these ideas, as they are a composite of all the awesome builds I researched on Flickr these past few weeks. I really enjoyed Simon Jackson’s simplified Xenomorph MOC (as seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tzidik/2374377008/in/faves-10119307...) as it was a small enough design to relate to the minifigures on the game board. A few days ago Tim Lydy built a miraculous Alien MOC (www.flickr.com/photos/timlydy/23268385550/in/faves-101193...), which I rebuilt just for kicks, as seen with the Queen Alien. Finally, the Queen was a build I purchased off eBay from Brick Brigade Toy Lab (as seen here: www.ebay.com/itm/271962293309?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l264... ).
I get to try out the game for the first time with my friends tomorrow evening to see how well it plays. I designed the board, cards and character sheets all based off Alien merchandise from the movies and comic series. Again, I did this just for kicks because I enjoy the saga so much. If anyone is interested in obtaining a copy of the gaming materials (board, rule book, item list, card images), I am happy to send you a link to my Public Dropbox folder where you can download it for free free free, just PM me and I’ll try and respond with the link as soon as I am able to. Feel free to modify the game and its rules, since it’s all just a hobby to me. Again, I’m simply appreciating the amazing genius Alien fans have put out into the universe and combined that all into an exciting table top game for those that want to play.
