Game played: Alien Frontiers ( Clever Mojo Games ) BGG Id: 48726

It's a long while since I last played Alien Frontiers so I suggested this next and everyone else agreed. Nicky was the only one not to have played before. We played a slight variant as I'd forgotten there was a hand limit on resources you could keep and Mark G was stockpiling fuel and ore as much as he could. The game was pretty cut throat, especially for Andrew as the raiders stole from him several times - Mark G and I both had protection from them. The finish was very tight with Nicky, Andrew and me just needing to build our last colony to secure victory. However, I failed to roll a 6 on my turn whereas Andrew managed it on his turn to use the Terraforming Station and secure victory. If he hadn't rolled a 6, Nicky had her final colony in the Colonist Hub and would definitely have built it on her turn. Good game but this turned out to be very long at the end with Andrew and Nicky probably taking ten minutes each on their penultimate turns, trying to work out how they might stop me from winning. They couldn't but I couldn't roll a 6 so I lost it for myself.
