Thank you for the video. You helped clarify a couple of things for me. Cheers.

Glad I could help! I learned a few things after our first play too, wanted to share, cheers!

Thanks for this. The rulebook is dreadful and, even with the annotated rules and FAQs the rules remain super unclear, so it's really useful to be able to clarify my understanding ahead of first big play.

Glad it was helpful 🙂 Hope you have a blast on your first play!

I cannot understand the revealed alien mechanics , do we collectively put up to how many location cards with up to how many alien tokens , do we have a certain nuner of total strength ? Why wouldn't we just use the 2 strength all the time ? Can someone help ??

[@DiscovertheMeeple]

@@mazevlad2263 each character has a value of 1 strength, so they’re potentially able to beat back a revealed alien (each alien token has 1 strength but the alien can allocate more available strength to their preference) if the alien picks the location the characters decide to go but those players by going together limit the ground they can cover and risk another contagion check, does this help or do you need more clarification?
