1ers Contacts

1ers Contacts: Play as the alien... or hunt it down!

1ers Contacts is a deduction game in which you play as an alien or the team of agents trying to capture it! If you are the alien, move secretly and avoid detection to accomplish your special mission. If you are an Agent, work together and use your skills to deduce the Alien's position and trap it. First Contact offers 7 standalone, replayable scenarios, each inspired by a famous “secret file” on extraterrestrials! 

How to play 1ers Contacts

At the beginning of the game, choose one of the 7 scenarios and decide who will play the Alien. The Alien's goal is to avoid capture and complete a specific mission according to the chosen scenario. The Alien has a screen that allows them to hide their location. The other players play as Agents. They play on the central board, visible to all, and their goal is to capture the Alien.

The game takes place over 8 days, which follow these two stages:

• Alien's turn: The Alien moves and can play 1 Equipment card, which confers various effects.
• Agents' turn: Each Agent moves, then activates their skill. One Equipment card can be played during the turn.

The game ends immediately when the Alien is captured or at the end of the last Day. The Alien wins if it is not captured and has completed its special mission. If the Alien is captured, the Agents win.
