Game Rules:

Fearless Aliens Recruits in Training! Earn merit awards on Earth!

Gameplay

Shuffle playing cards and deal, face-down, 4 to the first player and 5 to the second. Each player takes a dice with 9 facing up.

Place 5 playing cards face-up in a row and place remaining cards face-down in a pile.

1. First player starts with a card draw. Players have 3 choices for drawing cards:
a. 2 face-down cards
b. 2 face-up cards
c. 1 face-up and 1 face-down card

Face-down moolti-pass cards count as one draw, BUT, face-up moolti-pass counts as BOTH draws. Moolti-pass are wild and can be used as any card(s).

Immediately replace drawn face-up card with a card from the face-down pile.

2. Complete an award, if possible, using cards in hand.

Only 1 award per turn:

2 UFO cards for sightings
2 crop circle cards for we're here
3 cows for abduction
4 brains for mind control

any matching pair for extra credit

Discard played cards into a face-up pile.

3. If completed, take and flip merit award card and place on your side. If you can't complete a merit award, turn your dice down one number (9 to 8 to 7...).

4. Next player’s turn.

First to complete 1 each of "sightings", "we're here", "abduction", and "mind control" gets 2 meeples. Second to complete gets 1 meeple.

If needed, reshuffle discarded face-up cards to continue until all merit awards and extra-credit are completed.

If ALL face-up cards relate to awards that have all been claimed, discard ALL face-up cards and replace from face-down cards.

Scoring

Count your award points, add to that the number of award/extra-credit cards you have, plus 1 point per meeple, plus number on your saucer dice. Highest points win!
