The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Well for the Marines who could not make the big drop this week, is Legendary Encounters (Alien Deck Building Game) any good? I found a copy at Pax Prime....

I've seen it as well and am sorely tempted to pick it up. Waiting for some reviews as well.

I flipped thru it last night. I will try a game out tomorrow and post some feedback.

I'm really surprised that there are not many people talking about this here.

I really love this game but have mainly played it alone (it can have 1 to 4 players) but controlling three "avatars".

As mentioned above, it is coop but you can play it in advanced mode such that a player, whose avatar is killed by a chestburster, can play as an alien by using an alien deck.

There's a lot of replay value because it covers the quadrilogy (via different objectives and characters from the flms). You can also mix objectives and character cards from different films... So you could also have just Ripley from four films.

The Predator Legendary Encounters is due in August at GenCon (?). The expansion to Alien Legendary Encounters was postponed until 2016 for some Marvel junk.
