About the game
Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps! is a cooperative survival board game that puts you and your squad of Colonial Marines against relentless Xenomorph swarms across six missions in and around Hadley's Hope. Players scavenge weapons, coordinate tactics, and manage dwindling resources while fighting to complete objectives or simply stay alive. A linked four-mission campaign and standalone survival scenarios both offer tense, high-stakes cooperative combat.
Hobbli's Notes
We're drawn to how faithfully this captures the claustrophobic dread of the film franchise, with escalating xenomorph pressure that punishes careless play. The cooperative miniatures combat is meaty and immersive, though the near two-hour runtime and moderate downtime mean it demands a committed group. Fans of the license and cooperative dice-driven combat will find plenty to sink their teeth into here.
What we like
- Strong Aliens license theming and atmosphere.
- Campaign mode links missions into an ongoing story.
- Solo play option supported alongside team play.
- Miniatures and dice combat deliver visceral tension.
Keep in mind
- Two-hour runtime is a big commitment.
- Notable downtime between turns in larger groups.
- Complexity may be steep for casual players.
Who it's for
Best for horror and sci-fi fans aged 14+ who enjoy cooperative miniatures combat in groups of up to six.
