Alien Frontiers: Factions

Description

Alien Frontiers: Factions will add a number of items to the Alien Frontiers base game: • Ship and colony tokens for a fifth player. • An additional orbital facility available to all players. • Factions (thus the name), with each faction providing its owner a special ability and new locations under his control. One faction, for example, is Gaia Reborn, which allows the faction owner to use a 5 or 6 at the Terraforming Station. It also provides a docking space that anyone can use to remove a ship already docked at the Terraforming Station; to do this, a player docks a ship of any value and pays one fuel to the faction owner for the privilege of using his faction facility. • Agendas, which are hidden objectives that allow a player to earn bonus points at game's end when the agenda is revealed. • New Alien Tech cards, such as the Lunar Tunneler, which will allow its owner to pay one fuel to receive an extra ore when using the Lunar Mine. This card's discard power will send all ships docked at the Lunar Mine to the Maintenance Bay, which can be useful when the Mine is clogged with high value ships.
