In strange and remote regions of space, death might not be the worst end…

A group of astronauts on a rescue mission arrive on a desolate planet to learn the fate of a long-lost scientific vessel. With little over a day to investigate what happened, they find that the planet itself and the encountered survivors hide horrible secrets that might endanger humanity.

The Shadow Planet: The Board Game is a sci-fi game of alien horror, based on a beautifully illustrated, Italian graphic novel by Blasteroid Brothers and designed by Giacomo and Gianluca Santopietro, the same authors responsible for Letters from Whitechapel.

It perfectly blends the concept of hidden identities with a completely revolutionary approach to the deck-building genre, thus offering you a unique gaming experience and a chance to use a completely different strategy every time to play.

Take your secret goal and use six different characters to achieve it. Deceive your rivals and control the flow of the game through cunning management of the different decks. Move around various locations on the planet to get powerful cards or use special abilities, but remember that they will also benefit your opponents, who can acquire the very same deck you’re trying to modify.

Play over the table, look for allies, and identify the alien threat before it proves too powerful… unless you are the creature trying to leave the planet!

Save humanity… or just save yourself.
