Flying Frog Productions, publisher of the popular zombie game Last Night on Earth, is adding science fiction to its line-up with two games featuring alien invasions planned for this year: Invasion from Outer Space and Conquest of Planet Earth.

 

Up first, at Gen Con, is Invasion from Outer Space.  Players assume the roles of common circus performers such as the Strongman, the Bearded Lady, or the Dancing Bear, or take charge of the invading Martian hordes.  The game includes 28 detailed plastic miniatures, cards, modular gameboard, and multiple scenarios for greater replay value.

 

Invasion from Outer Space uses the same game system as Last Night on Earth, allowing players to combine both games together.  Like LNOE, it includes photographic artwork and a CD soundtrack.  Stock number:  FFP0301.  Suggested retail price:  $59.95.

 

Flying Frog plans a holiday release for Conquest of Planet Earth.  A powerful alien armada has come to planet earth to overwhelm and conquer the unfortunate human defenders.  Each player assumes command of one of the invading alien races, each with unique advantages.  The game system itself controls the human defenders. 

 

The game can be played cooperatively, with the players working together against the powerful defenders, or competitively with the players struggling to be the most successful invasion force.  Includes 25 plastic miniatures, a CD soundtrack, and modular gameboard.  Stock number:  FFP0401.  Suggested retail price:  $49.95.
