SILOS – The game where cows are intelligent and humans are manipulable
Welcome to Earth at an unknown and absurd date: the future is dominated by alien races on a mission to secretly control a small American town. In SILOS, each player leads an alien faction that infiltrates humans, kidnaps them, and fights for social dominance. Designed by Reiner Knizia, the game is a sci-fi reimagining of Municipium, completely re-themed in a comical, alien key.What makes SILOS absolutely insane?
– Smart cows used as wild cards (and yes, you can kidnap them) – Modular boards that change every game – Set collection mechanics with influence and event cards – Alien aesthetics between Area 51 and '60s B-movies – Alien leaders with unique powers to turn the tablesControl the town. Abduct politicians. Collect cows. Conquer society.
Each turn allows you to move your aliens and trigger an event. The goal is to collect sets of humans (politicians, officials, influencers, etc.) to earn emblems of social power. Once you have five emblems, you win. But the alien opposition is fierce, and every move can change the outcome of the game. Combining area control, card management, and plot twists, SILOS offers a deep yet light-hearted strategy experience. Cows? Don't underestimate them. They're the true key to galactic supremacy.More games from another world

🐸 COME SI GIOCA
1. You are an alien... and you want to control human civilization.
Each player controls an alien faction infiltrated on Earth with the goal of collecting sets of humans—politicians, influencers, professionals, and bureaucrats—to earn emblems of social power . The first to collect five wins. Oh, and cows are wild cards . Because of course.
2. Move your aliens to key locations on the planet.
Each turn, you can reposition your alien tokens on the human village map. Each location has a unique effect, and if you have the majority in that area, you can activate its special ability . The map is modular, so each game has different powers: a strategic and constantly replayable board game .
3. Play event cards to unleash chaos.
After movement, you play an event card , which can influence the aliens' positioning, alter majorities, or move the UFO to activate bonus effects. The cards are public, so it's a competitive, open-information game where psychology and reading your opponent's situation matter.
4. Collect human sets to earn emblems.
When you manage to obtain a complete set of four different humans (or three plus a cow), you earn a power emblem . Some location powers allow you to draw or trade humans, so territory control is essential. A perfect mix of hand management and area control .
5. Plan, adapt, and exploit your alien leaders.
Each player has a powerful alien leader with unique abilities that can turn the tables. Using them at the right time makes all the difference. The Crop Circles expansion adds even more asymmetry and long-term strategy, making SILOS a competitive and modular board game that grows with the player.

Silos
A strategic board game where cows are wild cards and aliens have business acumen.
A game of majorities and set collections where the earthlings are just resources to be catalogued
Silos – Cows, Aliens, and Human Brains on Galactic Sale
The human race was handpicked… as second best.
In Silos , you step into the (green?) shoes of an alien race poised to colonize humanity through influence, manipulation, and adorable cows.
Each game is a silent war for control of the village's key locations: politicians, influencers, and public officials are the real prize. But beware: cows are worth more.
Move from one area to another, activate powers, collect humans and create perfect sets … before others steal your civilization.
Silos – A board game of majorities and set collections with an alien-satirical twist.
Silos is a board game for 2-4 players , based on an area control system, set collection and modular powers , set in an Earth village infiltrated by alien factions.
Each turn, you will move your alien infiltrators between areas of the board, triggering events, sabotaging opponents and trying to complete collections of humans (politicians, professionals, influencers, etc.).
The first to collect five social control emblems wins the game… but only if they manage the unique abilities, wild cows, and special events well.
The game is a renewed version of the classic Municipium , with ironic art, scenographic production and modern dynamics , perfect for those looking for a light but pungent strategy, with a strong visual and narrative personality.
We saw it… and the cows won us over 🐸
Silos is one of those games that makes you laugh while you find yourself in the midst of a war for control between public offices and pharmaceutical companies.
The funniest part? The silent struggle to get hold of the cows (which are worth a lot) and the right roles at the right time.
Special leader abilities, unpredictable events, and modular boards add variety to every game.
Perfect for those who enjoy interactive gameplay, with escalating strategy but without analysis paralysis. Bonus: the alien design is truly inspired.
