Venus Needs Men (2006)

In Venus Needs Men! you can play one of the five alien worlds attempting to capture or destroy Earth’s population while preventing the other players from doing the same, or else you can play Earth trying to fend off the aliens while getting your population to safety.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
