Worth picking up?

[Old Dwarf]

Everyone has their own criteria on what Game to purchase so this is just my take.

I never got past the Art work & Captain Fantastic,it struck me as just Cartoons.
The several Alien Races seemed a bit much why were they all trying to conquor Earth?
( yes I expect some rational in Games)So I never really looked beyond my initial impressions.

In fact I read this Thread by Mistake! I thought I was checking ourt the F&G Forum.
So dedicated Mod that I am I went to BGG & FFP looked into CoPE & found
you can just play 1 Alien Race & that Capt.Fantastic is just a Card & not a big
part of the Game( you could simply call the Card anything & drop the Super Hero stuff).

The Alien art work still isn't going to get my vote,but I could ignore it as the Board
figs saucers are OK & the Alien Figs don't seem to really need to be used.The Human
art work is also OK.

So I guess I could get past the Purple Blops with teeth
& might now even consider getting the Game.The Rules
do present a Game I would like.It even plays Solo.

The Expansion will feature among other things the
Martians from Invasion from Outer Space.

So SoCalRMD I probably haven't helped you much but your
post helped me take another look at a Game I had dismissed
out of hand...So Thanks
