A deadly Alien stalks the crew of the commercial starship NOSTROMO while they struggle to survive. In this cooperative strategy game, players must work together to move through the ship, gather supplies, and craft items. Crew members must tread carefully as they work through different missions–the ALIEN could be just beyond the next bulkhead. To win, crew members must complete their starting objectives and one of five final missions. Crew members lose if their morale reaches zero, or if the Nostromo self-destructs.

Definitely a fun enough game, and simple enough for folks to enjoy and figure out. You might die the first time figuring it out. But no players are ever "eliminated" from the game, as there is a group "morale" meter for health. You lose if it hits zero. Apart from that, you complete four sub-quests and one final quest to win.
The only bad thing, that isn't related to the game is that i payed for a new game and I got a used one. With the Alien mini coming damaged. Please be aware!

As much as I avoided "Jurassic Park Danger" because it seemed to have balance issues (I heard that dinosaurs tend to win 4 games on 5), "Alien: Fate of the Nostromo" is a cooperative game. The players team up against the odds and try to win as a group. It can be the great kind of games when some players in your group tend to be better at strategizing, leaving little room for the others to win. It also mean that you can also play solo because you don't need an opponent to play against (and most of those non coop games are usually not even fun only with 2 players but may require 3 or more people to be played at their best).
I only played a couple of games solo with 2 or 3 characters in my team. I have to agree that the more characters you have in your team, the harder the game tend to be. I may try with more crew when I'll be fully confident in my knowledge of the rules but it seems already that it's better played with 2 or 3 people at most... and bring more only for extra challenge... throw Ash (optional character) in the pit if you really want to make your crew have the hardest time of their lives! xD
As a fan of Alien, everything is about the first movie and I really enjoyed the attention to details. Many little details on the board and rules made me smile. It's really a must have for any fan. I'm only disappointed that my box got damaged during handling as it probably lost a lot of its collector value but Amazon offered a discount to apologize (i thank them very much for their kindness).
The overall quality of the game is impressive. Ravensburger are not mainly in the boardgame market. They are a high quality puzzle company more than anything else. With how terrifyingly balanced was "Jurassic Park Danger", I was afraid that "Alien: Fate of the Nostromo" would have some major downsides like rules that don't make sense or don't cover all possible case scenarios (this unfortunately happens way too often with board games). I'm really surprised that so far, rules seemed to cover everything. And for the most subtle questions, most already been asked on the forums of Board Game Geek where the creator of the game himself, Scott Rogers, answered them all.
Overall, a great cooperative game that will please most players, especially Alien's fans! The rules are clear and complete, the game is made with the high quality materials that Ravensburger are well known for.. all this paired with more than a decent price, it's really a good choice especially for more beginner/casual players!
