What if intelligent beings from another planet decided to forcibly take possession of Planet Earth by taking over people's bodies? And what if the place they landed to begin implementation of this take-over was YOUR town? And--what if YOU were the only person who KNEW about it? THAT's the premise of FIRST CONTACT: YOUR TOWN, The Body-Snatching Space Alien Invasion Board Game!

Using the game and your imagination, the future of the planet is in YOUR hands! You race against the clock to convince fellow townspeople of the alien threat, and identify and destroy the aliens themselves. The CHALLENGE of this space alien invasion board game is that you don't know who's a real townsperson, and who's REALLY an ALIEN occupying a townsperson's BODY! You determine this by confronting townspeople one-by-one, utilizing a variety of strategies to protect yourself against the aliens and negotiate with the fellow humans! If you can rid your town of ALL the aliens by the stroke of midnight, the invasion is thwarted and the planet saved. However, if even ONE alien remains when the "mother ship" arrives at midnight--you and the entire planet are DOOMED!

Sound like fun? It IS! Playing FIRST CONTACT: YOUR TOWN is like watching a "B" movie from the 1950s, except that YOU'RE creating the action as you go along! It's a space alien invasion board game that comes with a cast of characters that could have come straight from a vintage Hollywood screenplay. There's the wholesome housewife, the mayor, the town drunk, the delinquent kid, the waitress at the local diner, and many more--25 different characters in all, each with his or her own unique set of attributes that you'll have to deal with! You'll start the game by assuming the role of one of the characters yourself! No acting experience required!

FIRST CONTACT: YOUR TOWN Space Alien Invasion Board Game takes only about a half hour to play, start-to-finish, yet it's filled with twists, turns and surprises. Every time you play the game, it'll unfold differently--depending on your starting character and the mix of aliens and humans. So you'll want to play again and again, and each time you do, it'll be an entirely new script!

FIRST CONTACT: YOUR TOWN can be played by as many as six people, each working cooperatively or separately. The game can even be played SOLITAIRE--it's a great alternative to reading a book or doing another sudoku puzzle. There's a special "secret alien" version of this space alien invasion board game for surprise endings! The instructions include a scoring option that will allow you to compare results from different "episodes" of the game, to see how you did! There's a LOT of entertainment value packed into this little green and black box!

But WAIT--there's MORE! Your copy of FIRST CONTACT: YOUR TOWN can be PERSONALIZED, just for you--or as a special gift or keepsake for someone else--at no extra charge! We print all our games one-game-at-a-time, allowing you to put your choice of names on the box cover! It's a PERSONALIZED board game experience! So--it can be "FIRST CONTACT: Kenosha, Wisconsin," or "FIRST CONTACT: Austin, Texas," or whatever town YOU want to honor with its own game! It's a unique, personalized gift that doesn't cost a fortune. (Think about the last time you were searching for a truly unique, special gift for someone, on a budget of under $20. Not easy, is it!?) Of course, you don't HAVE to personalize the game box--the game will play exactly the same way. But, for no extra charge, why NOT make the game your very own?
