So as I said, this is from leading edge games. It's aliens the board game. It came out in 1989 it's currently out of production Uh My wife managed to find this online I believe eBay she had to buy the uh miniatures separately, which we'll be getting into shortly For right now, let's go ahead and open up The box and take a look. Okay. So here's the game And I move this off to the side and here you have The colonial marine cards Uh, you use all the cards Uh in the game, so if you've only got four or five players then You're gonna double up on card on characters So there's that Here's the uh stands For those cards And for the characters themselves whenever you go onto the board Uh, this shows Like the aliens the uh face huggers and the queen What all uh effects they have when you roll a certain way We have this is where my wife got the uh game from A little promotional there lanes books So here's the guidebook pretty cool And then the expansion pack We love playing this on holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas are the main holidays that we use to play this and here Are the game boards so we got game board here On this side That goes all the way here And then we got this main part here Uh, you have to get From one side To the other this is the one we usually play and I'll show you how we usually play it Uh, as I said my father-in-law passed away earlier this year Uh, and he had actually made this board several years back For the game He made it out of wood So Yep, you start down here If you can see You start down here and you've got to make it all the way to the exit there These are just uh spots in the board you're not allowed to move just like on the map here Uh, and this is really Um It really takes after the movie It's almost identical to the movie uh gameplay wise so If you want to see Some actual gameplay of this game Then I'll link the video In the description And uh, probably at the end of the video So let's go ahead and put these That actually There was something else in here The rules the rule manual Right here And we were quite happy to uh Find this online It's uh It's definitely become a tradition in our house Here's some of the uh Cards You got Hicks You got Ripley Newt Gorman Burke Crow Dietrich Drake Hudson You got Wozzebowski Farrow Frost Sponkmeyer And Bishop Did we miss one? Hicks Ripley You know what we are missing apone Yep We are missing apone Um I think that's the only one we're missing Yeah Hmm So we did not get a complete Game board Or game I think my wife printed out some of these cards though Uh As well and I think apone's in with them So it's no it's not really a big deal And we need to get the character cards that go in these they're little Rectangular pieces kind of about this size They go in them Or no No they're not I'm sorry I forgot We get we do the figurines We do the figurines which Are right in here So let's go ahead And open these up And we'll take a look Some of them are painted some of them aren't Right here we've got Bishop And my wife's gonna get some washers to put these on because I think that's what my father-in-law had His on were some washers I mean they stand up okay, but And then this one Can't really tell the name on that apone The only card we're missing But here's some of the colonial marine figures figurines They go with the game Here's a few more Got frost which I think there's another one we might be missing We're gonna have to double check And we got a few of the aliens here we need to get some more aliens And it looks like One of their heads broke off But it's an easy fix just some solder But yeah, this is My family's favorite Game to play on the holidays My wife and my father-in-law are big Well, my wife is my father-in-law was a big aliens fans It's her favorite movie out of the entire franchise So we like to play this on the holidays Thanksgiving usually after dinner. We didn't play it this year Because we're still waiting to get some more pieces for the game Probably won't play it for Christmas either because we're still waiting on some more pieces But definitely next year we're going to Restart the tradition I highly recommend playing this game. Again, it's from leading edge games There are some places in the universe you don't go And here's the back of the board game if you can read that And yeah, um If you're able to get it, I highly recommend it start your own family holiday traditions and play Aliens of the board game I've been shan and this been comic again tv the only place on youtube where all geek culture collides Take care geeks If you enjoyed that video make sure you hit the subscribe button right there So you stay up to date on all thanks geek culture Also, go ahead and check out one of these two playlists on the side for more videos just like the one you just watched I'm shan and for comic again tv the only place on youtube where all geek culture collides Take care geeks
