Watch “ALIENS: Leading Edge Games 1989 | OPERATIONS & AIR DUCT Set-up, How to Play, First turn round,” a how-to-play guide for Aliens on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by SharedXP on YouTube:
In this video I set up and teach **Operations**, one of the classic scenarios from the **Aliens board game by Leading Edge Games**, based on James Cameron’s *Aliens*.
This is part setup guide, part how-to-play, and part rules clarification video. I walk through the scenario, explain the basic flow of play, and read through a couple of confusing sections from the rulebook while giving the community-style answer I think makes the most sense at the table.
This is not a slick studio production — it is me getting the game to the table, learning the ropes of board game video creation, and continuing to refine the camera setup. I’m using a three-shot setup that mostly works, but I’ll keep improving the filming, lighting, and editing as the channel grows.
The goal of this series is simple: make it easier for people to actually play these old, thematic, sometimes messy, but incredibly cool board games, while also celebrating games I truly enjoy.
Coming next:
1. Full playthrough of **Operations**
2. Full playthrough of **Air Ducts**
3. 3D print play through
4. More classic, thematic, cinematic board game coverage
I will do the **hive** play through and **final battle** play through last. That model is a beast.
If you are into old-school board games, movie board games, tactical combat games, solo playthroughs, or the Alien franchise, this is exactly the kind of game I want to keep exploring on the channel.
Thanks for watching, and let me know if you’ve played Leading Edge’s Aliens or if there are other classic movie board games you’d like to see covered.
