Cosmic Squid
Alien Frenzy is a fast-paced, high-energy sci-fi card game designed for families, teens, adults, and anyone who loves quick chaos with a strategic twist. Created by Australian designers and successfully funded on Kickstarter, Alien Frenzy delivers a perfect balance of speed, surprise, and interstellar mischief. Players scramble to outsmart each other by throwing every oddball human they can find at a bunch of weird, and wonderfully menacing Aliens who’ve decided Earth is now their planet. Sabotage opponents, plot your revenge, and create hilarious moments as you race to become the last player standing. With simple rules, lightning-fast rounds (20 minutes), and high replayability, Alien Frenzy’s compact size and universal appeal make it a go-to game for any household or game group. If you enjoy games like Exploding Kittens, Unstable Unicorns, Uno or Love Letter, Alien Frenzy will feel right at home on your table.
Its quick playtime makes Alien Frenzy ideal for fast demos and repeat plays. After successfully fulfilling our Kickstarter campaign, we’re excited to introduce the game to a wider audience, and events like the Melbourne Board Game Market are the perfect place to showcase it and connect with new players.

Special research focuses include games and technology (do apps REALLY ruin boardgames?), games for life storytelling, and the ethics of multiplayer games.
