Aloha Earth

Aloha Earth

Heather O'Neill, Christopher O'Neill

3 - 10 players
30 - 60 min

From BoardGameGeek

In Aloha Earth, players take the roles of alien "Experts of Human Things" to debate the details of a now-extinct (due to...something?) human civilization. Every earth-year, the Human Summit meets to debate important topics such as whether a "Triple Vegan" is a "Transcended Human Being" or a "Sports Pass performed only with a Cabbage". The whimsical improvisational style puts all players on an even playing field. Because the alien experts don't know what humans were actually like, they can infer results that might be based on complete nonsense. Because YOU are the expert, however, no one can say "You're wrong!" The scoring in the game inspires collaborative storytelling. After a debate, all players vote on someone who told the most convincing backstory for the object or reference. That player scores two points, but then must award a bonus point to another player who best helped them come to that conclusion!
