After getting dropped on the second turn in the Aliens game, Sunday night, I had some time to look for the PDF(s) online of undated rules and such. After I found them on board game geek, I figured why not upload them here for anyone else to download and use.

Below is both the original and revised rule sets, plus revised cards.

Enjoy!

You can also play online using the flash-based game at https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/408816

Be warned, however: it's harder than the standard board game, since it tracks ammo, among other things ;)

This game kicked so much arse that I was scribbling quotes from the film when it wasn't my turn. The last line I wrote was right after my marine, Drake, was pulled up into the air ducts after killing a lot of aliens and being outnumbered: "I'm a god d@mned hero!" which received much laughter from folks and a suggestion to have that printed on a t-shirt for next year. :lol:

So I played one session of the Flash game, lol and thought I was doing great when I got all but one of the Marines across the reactor room about 5 squares from the exit. I don't know what happened after that point but Marines started dropping left and right within the last few turns. By the end I had 2 make the exit. :lol:

I will be trying this again.
