Alien Hotshots (1998)

About this game

Join the odds and the evens in their interstellar struggle to bring peace to the universe. Just as in the classic game of war, the highest card wins each hand. Matching cards mean war! Play powerful space ship cards to alter the outcome of cosmic encounters. Collect all the cards to win and leave your opponent in outer space. To do so you must face paralyzing space germs, the hungry even and odd eaters, and the treacherous black hole!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
