You were on your way back to earth after a year-long mission when a distress beacon abruptly roused you from hypersleep. The message was mostly static, but it was obvious that something terrible was happening at Mining Colony 415.
Once you and your crew landed and started looking around, unidentified lifeforms started wreaking havoc. During the chaos, everyone got split up and you don’t know if anyone is alive or dead. Even Sprinkles, the ship’s cat, is missing.
You just heard over the colony’s announcement system that the self-destruct protocol has been activated, so you’ll have to race back to Landing Pad 7 to get aboard your ship and get out of there before everything explodes… and you’ll have to do it while being hunted by the aliens.
Hunted: Mining Colony 415 is a fast-paced solo game that constantly presents you with tense choices. All the cards are multi-use forcing you to make quick decisions about which ones to discard and which ones to activate. You’ll have to balance running, fighting, and hiding if you want to get off the planet alive.
This game in the Hunted series uses a dexterity mechanic to resolve events and combat.

Difficult - the cards and dice can be punishing, but it adds to the theme of risking your life. I love the art and graphic design, but it just didn't have interesting decisions. The black box is annoyingly ambiguous on the shelf.

I hear a lot of complaints about these games being to luck based. I believe there is a lot of room for mitigating your luck if you understand the game mechanics and just spend a little time with it. There are some fun combos to be had that lend itself to the theme. Push your luck games are like gambling which is hugely popular. Carnival games are dexterity games and are a real crowd pleaser, but hey, if you don't like push your luck or dice chuckers or dexterity games than this is a lose, lose, lose for you. But if you do, and you're a fan of the movies, than the theme really shines! I'm happy to have these in my collection.
