Tyranid Attack (1992)

About this game

Attack the Genestealers and their more frightening cousins, the Tyranids, in their huge living ships. Your job is to take a squad of Space Marines into the bowels of the ship and try to destroy it's vital organs. The ship is not defenseless as you could find a Genestealer or the larger more dangerous Tyranids opposing you. This time, lighter armored but faster marines in addition to the heavily armoured Terminaters are going in, but unlike the opponents in the game Space Hulk the opponents now have weapons.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
