In space, no one can hear you bluff. Here, you survive. Or you die.
There's a monster on board. And it's not a special effect. In Alien: Fate of the Nostromo , you're part of the crew of the legendary spaceship, and the Xenomorph lurks, invisible, deadly, ever closer. You can't eliminate it; you can only try to survive long enough to complete the mission . But every step in the corridor could be your last.
This cooperative board game puts you in the shoes of Ripley, Parker, Lambert, Dallas, or Brett. Explore the ship, gather materials, craft items, and face constant tension that builds with each turn. And just when you think you're safe... the alien appears. And don't forget: if the crew's morale plummets, the game is over. No one will make it out alive.
Why "Fate of the Nostromo" is much more than an Alien-themed game
- 👽 Horror atmosphere faithful to the film : every dark corner could be the last, every choice weighs
- 🧰 Intelligent crafting system : create tools with scrap to face any eventuality
- 🎭 Variable powers and final missions : each game has different objectives and increasing tension
- ⚠️ Morale and survival : it's not enough to avoid the alien, you have to keep the team together
- 🧪 Hard mode with Ash : one more saboteur, less morale, 100% anxiety
If you love cooperative games with a tense atmosphere and strong narrative , Alien: Fate of the Nostromo is the leap into hyperspace you've been waiting for. It's the movie on the table. But this time, you're the protagonist . And no, you can't escape in the shuttle alone.
Good luck, Lieutenant. And may you never lack the right scrap.
Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Choose your character and join the crew.
Each player takes on the role of a member of the Nostromo: Ripley, Lambert, Parker, Brett, or Dallas , each with a unique special ability . The shared goal is to survive the alien threat by completing a series of missions. It's a cooperative, narrative board game inspired by the cult film.
2. Explore the ship and collect materials to survive.
During the action phase, players move between the ship's rooms to collect scrap , build objects (such as sensors or incinerators), and exchange resources . Working together is essential to maintaining control and preparing for unexpected events.
3. Face the terror of the Alien at every turn.
At the end of the turn, draw an Encounter card : the Alien can appear from any angle, forcing the crew to flee or lose morale. If the Alien is within close range, the only way to repel it is with the Incinerator , a powerful but difficult-to-obtain item.
4. Complete the objectives before it's too late.
The group must complete a series of initial objectives : recover objects, reach specific rooms, or protect crew members. Once completed, the final mission unlocks, which is different with each playthrough and increasingly challenging.
5. Victory requires strong nerves and cooperation.
To win, the crew must complete the final mission without losing morale. If morale reaches zero, the game is over. For those seeking an extra challenge, add Ash , the Science Officer, who actively interferes with the group. Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo is a cooperative board game for families or fans of the sci-fi horror genre , with growing tension and excellent replayability.

It's not just a board game. It's a journey into fear.
A cooperative game that turns every turn into a missed heartbeat. Save the crew. Or fail in style.
Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo – No One Can Hear You Scream… at the Table
The Nostromo creaks. The lights flash. A noise in the duct.
Ripley, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Dallas. You're alone. And there's no way out. Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo immerses you in the anguish of the original film, transforming it into a tense and atmospheric cooperative board game .
Gather resources, craft tools, avoid the alien. Or face it. But remember: fear isn't something you roll with dice. It's built turn after turn.
Variable missions, unpredictable encounters, asymmetrical powers and one goal: survive.
Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo – Co-op horror game inspired by Ridley Scott's masterpiece
Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo is a cooperative board game for 1-5 players , with a short but growing tension. Set on the famous ship from the 1979 film, each game is a race against time and an invisible and unstoppable enemy .
Players take on the role of crew members with unique special powers , move around the modular board collecting scraps to build tools, and take on ever-changing missions, with a variable surprise ending .
Thanks to the action point mechanic , turn management is tactical and tight, while the alien moves according to ever-new encounter cards.
The optional presence of Ash, the science officer , adds further difficulty and variability, making Alien a perfect title even for experienced players looking for a challenge.
We played it… and no, we didn't survive 🐸
You wake up in the middle of the night. It's just a game... or maybe not.
Alien: The Fate of the Nostromo works because it doesn’t want to overdo it : simple to explain, but every choice weighs on the group’s morale.
We enjoyed the risk management, the unhurried crafting, and the constant feeling of being hunted .
It plays very well alone, but it really comes into its own with 3-4 players: tension, cooperation, and meaningful silences.
The material is solid, the artwork is immersive, and the final missions are truly game-changers.
A title we recommend to those who love themed games and want to relive the claustrophobia of the film with friends . And perhaps, some soft lighting in the background.
