The Mothership Board Game Overview | Two-Player Alien Puzzle Game

Description provided by Tantrum House on YouTube:

Join Will Meadows and Journeyman Dan at Tantrum House Studio 3 for an overview of The Mother ship from Snow Day Games, designed by Brad and Jacqueline Casper. In this two-player game, you'll pilot your UFO, abduct humans, collect artifacts, recruit aliens, and compete to become the best Alien Scout. Will and Dan walk through the grid movement, set collection, pick-up-and-deliver system, reputation track, alien recruitment, and variable player powers. They'll also show how the different alien abilities can help you build powerful combinations throughout the game. They also discuss the game's puzzle-like gameplay, tug-of-war reputation system, upgrade combinations, variability, and what makes The Mothership stand out as a two-player game.
