Here’s the current set of games and expansions which are under development.
Close Encounters
Set in a sci-fi future, troopers from a Private Military Contractor have been sent to investigate why a small colony has stopped responding to messages. As they explore the tunnels and passageways, however, they quickly find the situation is more serious than they had thought. Can you and your friends fight your way past the bugs and escape the colony? Or will the bugs have some tasty new morsels to crunch?
Close Encounters is a game for 1-4 players, ages 12+, which can be played in less than an hour. Players command either a squad of troopers or the alien bugs which have infested the colony.
Current status: pre-production copies available!
Strapped and Packed: Heavy Weapons for Close Encounters
The first expansion for Close Encounters, Strapped and Packed adds new challenges and new options to the game. The troopers benefit from the ability to take a variety of heavy weapons, including flamethrowers, machine-guns, and rocket launchers.
Meanwhile, the bugs have been reinforced with several large and deadly new species. New map tiles and missions allow the troopers to explore further into the infested colony.
Current status: in development
Taking Point: Squad Leaders for Close Encounters
Taking Point is the second expansion pack for Close Encounters. The troopers can now benefit from the abilities that squad leaders add to their teams.
The bugs have some changed behaviours, however, which means new problems for the troopers. New map tiles, along with new missions, mean the troopers will have plenty of opportunities to learn about the situation…
Current status: in development
Other Expansions
Other expansions are in the pipeline. Each of them has new features such as equipment for troopers, mutations for the bugs, and of course new map tiles and missions. As development progresses, this page will be updated!
