The Shadow Planet
Galakta, 2022. Illustrated by D'Amico, Alan; Savini, Demis. Board Game. New. Item #00081640
This semi-cooperative deck-building game is based on the Italian sci-fi/horror graphic novel of the same name by Blasteroid Brothers, in which an away mission on a barren moon battle two mind-controlling aliens at war with one another. You will play as different members of the away team from round to round but score as one of them at the game’s end, cooperating with the rest of the players to try to get off the moon but also playing with a randomly selected secret objective. If the astronauts beat both the alien trying to get off the moon and the guardian trying to keep everyone from leaving, then they score their victory points individually, and the highest score wins. Best for 3-5 players aged 14 and up; play time runs approximately 90 minutes.
