The xenomorph dice are small, six-sided dice, a dark but translucent smoky color. The player boards, APC board, and rulebooks tuck in along the side.

Obviously there is simulated violence as the xenomorphs and marines attack each other.Īliens: Bug Hunt was designed by Ryan Miller and published by Upper Deck, with art by Caio Cacau, Daniel Reneau, and Vinz el Tabanas. There are illustrations of the xenomorphs on the cards, but there isn’t any gore, so as long as the artwork doesn’t give your kids nightmares, the game itself can be played by younger kids. Some of the cards include quotes from the movie, and the strongest language included is “hell,” while “b*tch” is bleeped out. Note for parents: the age rating seems to be primarily because the game is based on an R-rated movie, but the game itself isn’t R-rated. It’s available starting today from the Upper Deck store, with a retail price of $39.99.
