1ers Contacts

Based on an extraterrestrial signal

Rumors say a flaming spaceship was seen falling through the sky... Confirmed! I had to eject after a tiny little mistake during what should have been a stealth reconnaissance mission. Thankfully, I was able to activate my spaceship’s cloaking ability before it crashed...

The mothership was warned of my difficulties and is on its way to retrieve me. It won’t arrive for several days, and once it gets here it can’t linger-humans haven’t been deemed ready for contact with alien species yet. I’m going to have to hide until I’m brought home.

That won’t be easy, especially since my arrival was noticed: the Agency is hot on my trail!

The Agents know the place much better than I do, they’ve got cutting-edge detection arrays, and they’re not afraid to get wet-whereas I can’t swim...

I’ll have to cover my tracks to get out of here!

In 1st Contacts, one player is the Alien. They must escape and fulfill a special mission. They move around on a secret map, committed to avoiding easy detection, and they know how to cover their tracks.

All other players are Agents who must try to catch the Alien before it escapes! They use their abilities and deduce the Alien's whereabouts based on the answers they receive.

The Agents can use detection arrays and deduction tokens to track the information they're given.
