What a good value! Balancing Aliens from Out of the Box Games makes quite the impression with it's solid wood construction and fun alien pieces. We got hours of fun out of this one on game night!

Game Summary: There are two games you can play with this. On one side is "Balancing Aliens" and on the other side is "Dancing Aliens". In Balancing Aliens, you roll the dice to see which sector you will send each alien to work in. After they are done working, you must get them back to headquarters without crashing the ship.
In Dancing Aliens, you move the aliens to one sector, putting them on the outermost rings to score big points. Be careful not to drop any aliens!

Game Play: This game is very simple to learn and can yield hours of fun. Unlike other balancing games, you can adjust the difficulty level by unscrewing the spaceship to the next desired level. For this reason, the game really is appropriate for all age levels, whether you are 7 or 90. This feature is also essential for those determined to hone their alien balancing skills.

Strategy: As simple as this game is, winning against an adult can take some real skill. Since it's easy to adjust the difficulty level, even the most graceful of us can find ourselves spewing aliens to their fate.


Balancing Aliens is one of those games that you'll want to hold on to for years to come. It's solid wood construction, original plot, and insanely low price really make this a must-have for any game collection. Balancing Aliens would also make a wonderful gift for someone who's into science fiction, a collector of extra-terrestrial figurines, or someone with a quirky sense of humor.
