From out of these simple rules comes a tangible, choking,
paralysing terror. This game is a diamond. Pure, hard and glorious
. . . a triumph of design. --Shut Up and Sit Down
Absolutely, fantastically fun to play. --Tom Vasel, The Dice
Tower This is a great game when the power goes out! - Jorge
Garcia, from Lost and Hawaii Five-O
This game is a blast! . . . Great game! So much so that I'm keeping
it in my gaming library. - Game Boy Geek I believe it can
turn into a very intense game where you might just out think
yourself. - Through Gamers' Goggles So engaging all the way
along . . . a great, thematic, interesting game. - Toucan Play
that Game I love the box design, the use of the dry-erase map
pads, and the card illustrations. And I like the way they tried to
engineer a mechanic that would generate feelings of fear and
claustrophobia . . . an entertaining game with lovely artwork, high
production values, and a fun and unique hidden movement mechanic. -
Gareth Branwyn, Boing Boing I definitely highly recommend
this. - Drive Thru Review This game is something special. -
The Board Game Review It's a lot of fun! I really enjoyed
this game. - Discriminating Game (TDG) Very cool and super
fun game with a group and an excellent gateway game for
non-gamer's. - theMCGuiRE review A cracking hidden role and
hidden movement that is a staple to any shelf. . . . Every time
it's brought to the table every single player will have fun and
it's a great strategy game for both veterans and first timers. -
n3rdabl3 This is a great example of what a game can be in
2016. - Ghettoblaster A map, markers, and a few cards are
able to create a tension filled game of bluffing and logic. The
game is truly greater than the sum of its parts. The easy to learn
rules and meaningful decisions will keep players engaged and tense
as they try to escape or attack. - BoardGameGeek News The
website scenario tool and map editor are really nice. Customers
have commented to us about it, and I have also checked them out and
like the many options to create countless maps. - Gamers
World It's a great, great game! - No Rules Review "I
thought this game was a lot of fun. The production is stellar. I
think it's just amazingly pretty." - The Secret Cabal "If
you are a fan of either of the gaming mechanics, Hidden
Traitor, or Hidden Movement, then you will enjoy adding
this game to your shelf! We think that the easy set-up and the lack
of tokens, counters, figures, and a board also makes a great
'Gateway Game' to bring people into the wonderful world of horror
tabletop games!" - Two-Gun Pixie If you like hidden movement
and, err, eating humans--well, this is the game for you. - Ars
Technica, Game on! The best board games of 2016 If you like
game that incorporate imaginative play, you'll want to have
Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space in your collection. -
Sahm Reviews It's always an experience, and it's completely
unlike any game out there. - Actualol My recommendation is
that if your group loves Letters from Whitechapel, lives and
breathes Battlestar Galactica, and washes it down with
The Resistance, then you have a winner here. Escape from
the Aliens of Outer Space sits nicely in the realm of hidden
movement and hidden role games, providing a large depth of
immersion for a game that is so very easy to learn that exceeds at
higher player counts for a true experience game. - Troll in the
Corner If you like games that incorporate imaginative play,
you'll want to have Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space in
your collection. - Scott Brady, SAHM Reviews . . . a tight,
tense hunt in the darkness, working out where other players might
be and who they are through deduction. Throw in some item cards and
(optional) variable role cards and you have one sweat-inducing
game. - Ars Cardboard
