"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
