On Mars: Alien Invasion is the much anticipated, somewhat cooperative expansion to Vital Lacerda's best-selling and highly acclaimed base game On Mars. Although this expansion was originally going to be called Surviving Mars, Eagle-Gryphon Games decided to rename it On Mars: Alien Invasion to better reflect the theme and content of this expansion. The game's narrative is contained in four chapters of a story written by Nathan Morse. The gameplay offers four new and different ways to develop and play the base game. You will play one-on-one, in full cooperation and even solo if you wish, depending on the chapter. You will find four new and totally replayable ways to establish colonies on Mars!
For example, here is the story that opens the first chapter and sets the stage for all the action that follows: Alert! Sensors indicate that aliens are invading the famous red planet! Conspiracy theorists have long predicted this. The threat to your mission is too great; you must act. Will you be able to stop the infectious spread of these beings, who are determined to spread to every habitable planet in the galaxy? Or will you play for the other side, a species trying to establish a colony on Mars, blithely ignoring the danger of their expansion, unaware that there are others eager to keep humans "in their place" on Earth.
