Play

Video Games:
Several Alien video games exist, however I’d highly recommend Alien Isolation, which came out in 2014. My husband and I started playing together (it’s single player, so we take turns) and it’s a blast! Definitely both screamed at the first alien encounter.

Tabletop Games:
For board games, I recommend Legendary Encounters. It’s an Alien themed deck building game. This was my first deck building game and I found it surprisingly engaging and not too difficult to learn. There are scenarios for each of the four movies you can play, which makes for a lot of fun.
