The Discovery expansion for Alien Artifacts moves forward the storyline of the universe and introduces new cards – along with a completely new type of card, Alien Resources. Get new ships and new technologies and send your research vessels into uncharted space. Explore the galaxy for anything — or anyone — you can exploit.
Discover new Alien Artifacts and use them to expand your interplanetary corporation! Harvest new alien resources to surprise your opponents and win the race for the domination in the galaxy!
Portal Games not only makes games to be enjoyed while playing, but also games that tell stories. Every two weeks (more or less) we release a new chapter of an Alien Artifacts lore series, that will introduce you to the universe of the Alien Artifacts. Witness the various facets of this world, its heroes and the events that take place during the monumental shift in humanity’s history. A shift that was initiated by the discovery of an alien race: its creations, technologies, architecture and philosophy.
