"Great artwork and concept. Awesome Fun!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

UPDATE! After playing this game is amazing. It’s fun. It’s quick once you learn the icons. Just get it.

I read reviews that this game was simple to pick up.

Well, it is but…the rule book could be written better. It’s the little things like when it says “if this cards played, score it.” Where in the other sections it talks directly about Victory Points. It just could be a little more succinct. Either that or I’m a moron (not ruling that one out).

I haven’t played it yet but I think it’ll be a fun one and probably worthy of replays.

MY ADVICE: Go to the summary at the back before starting to read the rest of it.

"Fast, quick and great tableu builder."
5 stars"

My group's current favorite card game and it can play up to 5 which is a bonus. Quick to pick up, quick to play and great strategic depth with multiple paths to victory. Touted as a 4× card game in under an hour, some do agree that it feels like it, while some feel it is a stretch. I feel this will replace Imperial settlers in my collection once more expansions come in. Highly recommended.

Description

Alien Artifacts – Card Game

Alien Artifacts is a 4X-style card game in which you play as an interplanetary faction, sending your research vessels into uncharted space to expand your knowledge and power. Build powerful ships, develop new technologies, and explore distant planets for anything — or anyone — you can exploit.

Alien Artifacts is built on a Resource engine – each turn you will have 3 Resource cards in your hand and you will decide how best to spend them. Each resource card has two different resource types for you to use. You can only use one side and only two cards per turn! Using these resources, you will build Ships, develop Technology, discover Planets, or Trade for currency!
