A fast paced game of terrifying alien invaders, futile human resistance, and 50′s SciFi Movie Action. Players each take on the role of a different alien Race, all part of invading armada, but each with their own unique abilities and ambitions. Unleash waves of flying saucers to blast human resistance into submission with death rays and terrifying weapons of war as you unleash powerful alien technologies on earth (and other alien races if they get in your way). But beware these pitiful humans are not defenseless. They will fight to the last to defend their planet, aided by countless platoons of army soldiers, powerful human heroes, and their most deadly weapon, the dreaded atomic bomb.
Featuring a modular game board, 10 different alien races to play (such as the Orzax, master of technology, or the Venezian Matriarchy, beautiful but deadly space amazons) a host of Human resistance to battle, and four game types – competitive, cooperative, team game, and Solo Play. Conquest of Planet Earth is a strategic game of maneuvering, backstabbing, and fantastic battles for alien conquest.
Main Features :
- Features a collection of beautifully illustrated artwork including over 100 unique images.
- Over 25 detailed plastic miniatures of alien saucers to conquer the world
- Games come with an original CD soundtrack to set the mood for alien conquest
- Four game types – race against friend in competitive or team play, and be the first to conquer earth to impress your alien overseers, or cooperate as complete alien armada to sweep over the world and defeat human resistance. Also this game may be played Solo.
- No two games are ever the same! There are many alien races to play and large decks of game cards, giving a great variety of gameplay. By rearranging the different boards each game along with the amount of human resistance to battle the aliens, there is a high level of re-playability.
- Fast Paced games with easy to learn rules allow players to jump right into the action while strategic depth and strong cooperative/competitive play keep player coming back for more.
- Excellent bridge between simple family games and deeper, more advanced board games. Easy enough for casual gamers/non gamers to enjoy, while exciting and strategic enough for hardcore gamers to love.
- Expandable Design allows for many expansions and strong web support to create a loyal fan base/community.

Had a lot of fun with this game the first time we played it. You definitely relayed how the game is like playing one of those 1950s B movies and all I could think of while playing was Orson Welles and War of the Worlds. While not a game that will be pulled out every gaming session, it is one that will be played at least once a month and one we will use to introduce other people to the fun of gaming.

Thanks for the review. Initially, I wasn’t that impressed with the game even though I really enjoy Flying Frog Productions. However, your review made me do a double take and now it’s definitely on my radar.
