Thoughtful@We can formu scientists have decided that sentient life exists in the worlds beyond earth. If that is so, and aliens have solved the riddle of faster then light travel, it is very possible that they inhabit a dying world. A planet where beans have become extinct. A situation which we too may someday face. We can design scenarios based on an alien invasion of Mexico where armed aliens hold off planetary defenders while unarmed aliens harvest all of the beans they can grab. But the aliens have a deadline, as the pressure builds up in their bodies.

Roll a 1d6 at the start of each turn. On a roll of 6 a random alien explodes! Alien forces would have 6 figures for every 5 Terran. There would be 1 harvester for every 3 armed aliens. Comments?

Sounds better for a boardgame :-)

Or a card game.

Every game is better with figures. What would be the splash zone of exploding aliens?

Exploderating aliens have a 2 inch diameter blast zone.
