Top-right corner shows ”BY TSR” and ”THE GAME WIZARDS” branding.

Gameplay summary (for search/use): A 2-player sci‑fi board game set aboard a spaceship where one player controls the ship’s crew and the other controls the rapidly multiplying “Awful Green Things.” The crew uses different weapons whose effects are discovered through play (trial-and-error), while trying to eliminate the aliens before they overrun the ship.
