Somewhere far away in space, an advanced civilization built its first starship. Its crew was selected from five planets, and the Exploration Ship Znutar set out for the unknown. They traveled for years, mapping and charting new worlds, eating Zgwortz, and playing pool. Eventually, they found a world with semi-intelligent inhabitants, and took one along for a mascot. What they didn’t know was that a “mineral specimen” from that planet was actually an egg!
On board, out of sight, it hatched into an Awful Green Thing! The monster grew and laid eggs. The eggs hatched and skulked through the ship. Then the crew discovered them... and suddenly they were fighting for their lives!
In Tom Wham's classic The Awful Green Things From Outer Space, one player controls the Awful Green Things. They grow and multiply every turn...especially if they can gobble up a crew member! The other player commands the crew, frantically trying weapon after weapon (pool sticks, fire extinguishers, cans of Zgwortz) to find something that kills the monsters.
This edition includes "Outside the Znutar" rules and counters for going out the airlocks and fighting on the surface of the ship. It also features upgraded components including a mounted gameboard, heavy die-cut counters, and a full-color rulebook.
