What it is about
Drop Pods is a roll and write, print and play, solitaire tabletop game. You will need two six-sided dice, a pencil, the rule book, Drop Pod contract and map. The aim of the game is to eradicate as many aliens as possible through the use of traps in your allocated Pod Contract location. Pods will attempt to hatch when they sense movement nearby, so there is a small window in which to construct the trap and then see it triggered as the alien attempts to confront the intruder. In each session, you have one Pod Contract and encounter one location. There are plenty more once you’ve cleared that, though, allowing your Pod Task Force to continue on their campaign of alien eradication. If you wish, you can keep the same characters and try new and harder maps as they gain experience and become better Trappers.
