The adventure is designed for 3–5 players plus the Game Mother and returns to the roots of the ALIEN franchise.

Complementing Rapture Protocol, the new Miniatures Set ($59.99) features 20 high-quality miniatures of soldiers, space truckers, and Xenomorphs. These miniatures in the 28mm scale are perfectly sized for use on the large battle maps included in Rapture Protocol and Hope’s Last Day.
