A role playing game produced by Games Workshop who produced a number of role playing classics in the late 1980s.
As the races of the universe clash, you must enter the struggle for dominance in this classic board game of skill and strategy. Using your own unique alien powers, you engage in combat, exploitation, politics and cosmic double-dealing with other aliens, each with their own strange and baffling powers.

You play an alien race and control five planets and twenty ships. The first player to get their tokens onto five planets in foreign sectors is the winner. Each player's home sector is outlined in a distinctive colour by the laser lines on the board.

Skill and timing may bring you fresh worlds as you expand your influence across the galaxy or will you fall by the wayside under weird alien onslaught? A plethora of different aliens and powers ensure that each and every game is a new and exciting experience. Play time and time again.
