Description

The Mothership is a 2-player game where rival Alien scouts are sent to Earth to study Humanity at a pivotal moment in its evolution. Each player pilots a Scout UFO, abducting Humans and uncovering Artifacts, valuable insights into Human culture, behavior, and innovation. These discoveries are transported back to the Mothership for analysis. As your research advances, the Mothership may also reward you with additional Artifacts, granting recognition for breakthroughs, efficiency, and strategic success. Artifacts represent your total contribution to the mission, whether discovered in the field or awarded by the Mothership. The Scout UFO who accumulates the most meaningful body of research rises in status and reputation. When the Mothership reaches capacity, the mission ends, and the Scout UFO with the most Artifacts is declared the victor of the scouting mission.
