Release[]
Release date for the game Legendary Encounters;
20 August 2014
Plot[]
The first ever Alien Deck Building Game, players must work together with other players defeating the terrifying Xenomorphs using the greatest characters in the Alien Universe.
The game consists of a trading card game, stickers and sticker books by Upper Deck and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. Upper Deck is to incorporate certain elements from the Marvel Legendary Deck Building Game to be compatible with the new ALIEN game.
Jason Brenner from Upper Deck stated at Origins 2014 that there are 2 further items in the works for release in 2015, one of these is a Predator expansion for Legendary Encounters and the other is a Predator standalone game.
Gameplay[]
Legendary Encounters: An Alien Deck Building Game is a fully cooperative game with original art. While based on the Marvel superheroes version of Legendary, the two games will be compatible but cannot be fully integrated. Legendary Encounters is a deck-building game in the same family as Legendary, but now players must cooperate in order to survive against hordes of aliens. Players take turns recruiting cards for their deck from a central selection in order to improve their deck and defeat enemy cards that are added to the central game board.
