In Season 1, they played Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game and it was okay, but I wasn't really into the theme. I'm more into the whole Alien thing. Last month we visited my Mother-in-law and she has cable (and a TV that is almost always on). We watched some of the Alien movies. (Well, I half-watched them.) So, at least the plot is familiar to me. (Before this summer the only thing I could remember about Alien was when it comes out of the guy's stomach.)

I have to laugh when things start getting hard. Have they seen the movie? What did they expect?

This was fun to watch and I think I would enjoy this game a lot more than the Marvel version, but I'm not sure I like the card buying system. It seems like they come out randomly and, as was mentioned in their discussion, you have to buy them to get rid of them.

By the way, it looks like there is an expansion for this game and you can combine it with the Predator version.
