Venus Needs Men!

Board Game of Alien Invasion

by John L. Velonis

Choose one of five alien planets, each with unique abilities. Build spaceships to invade Earth and abduct its population. Attack your rivals to prevent them from capturing all the humans for themselves!

Or play Earth and try to scavenge alien technology to improve your defenses, while evacuating as much population as you can to a secret underground refuge!
