Welcome to the quirky universe of SILOS (Secret InterLopers from Outer Space), where chaos meets cunning in an epic battle for cosmic supremacy! In the glork-too-vleep year—equivalent to the mid-20th century for Earthlings—our curious alien explorers have stumbled upon the intriguing planet called Earth. Here, they discover a fascinating, albeit primitive, species: humans. However, the real treasures they seek are the intelligent cows that roam the fields. Yet, plans are set in motion to manipulate the second-most intelligent beings of this world: humans! It turns out, they’re just intelligent enough to be perfect for our alien ambitions. In this game of strategy and subterfuge, alien factions compete to abduct, brainwash, and monopolize both humans and cows. Players vie for influence in key locations throughout a small town, activating unique powers and controlling human specimens to gain societal power and achieve their galactic objectives. Take turns deftly repositioning your alien figures and activating exciting event cards while racing to collect a full set of humans—politicians, government officials, influencers, and professionals. Completing these sets earns players coveted societal power emblems. Be on the lookout for cows, as they serve as wild tokens vital for completing your sets!
