Description

Get ready to enter a world of secrecy and intrigue in Area 51: Top Secret, a game of strategy and logistics set in the 1950s. Players take on the role of generals tasked with storing evidence of alien activity in a secret military base in the Nevada desert. The goal is to build and upgrade storage facilities to hide the most dangerous artifacts, while also finding the best way to transport and store them. With a variety of artifacts to collect, including ships, weapons, and tools, each with its own security level, players must think carefully about how to optimize their scoring. In this game for 2 to 6 players, you'll need to balance your own interests with the need to store all the artifacts you collect, even if it means scoring points for your opponents. The game mechanics, designed by Stefan Alexander, combine action queue, area majority, and deck building to create a challenging and engaging experience. With a playtime of 0 to 60 minutes, Area 51: Top Secret is a game that's easy to learn but hard to master, making it perfect for fans of science fiction and spy games. Published in 2016, this base game is a great addition to any board game collection, offering a unique blend of strategy and fun.
