Roswell 51, Roswell Reports
Sharing this game recap from a new friend who purchased ROSWELL 51 at PAX Unplugged and cracked it open at home: “In an epic & cinematic conclusion to our movie, the Scientist faced the Alien Warlord with the recovered ray gun… The Warlord had been burnt, blasted by a shotgun, and chased off with dynamite, but true to old school B-movie form….he kept coming back. And with the final seconds of the film playing, and Roswell facing grim odds, our hero scored an annihilating hit that destroyed the alien warlord for good and saved the people of Roswell. End scene! Fade out.” Thanks for sharing this, Joe!

Roswell 51, Shuffling Horror FAQ
Here’s a tip for Shuffling Horror: Roswell 51 game set-up. The Roswell 51 movie deck includes three Power Play cards (the red colored cards in the deck). These cards benefit the players and only two Power Play cards should be used for play. Including all three Power Play cards in the movie gives the survivors a significant advantage!
Before the game begins, the Director can set these up in the three slots on the movie screen (as shown below), and then roll a single die to randomly determine which to exclude. Rolling a 1 or 2 eliminates the first card, 3 or 4 the second, 5 or 6 the third. In this way, the players will know how the deck is stacked. The remaining two cards are then shuffled into the deck and the movie can begin!
If you have any questions on game set-up or rules, feel free to contact us.
Stay tuned for more Shuffling Horror playing tips!

Roswell 51, Shuffling Horror FAQ
The Robot is one of the twelve survivors in Shuffling Horror: Roswell 51. Two rules define the Robot’s special powers and make it stand apart from the human survivors (it is the only character card with rules noted on it). Since the game’s release this summer, a few players have contacted us regarding these abilities.
Starts With 6 Spoints
Whenever the Robot enters play, it automatically begins with six spoints (survivor points). This even occurs if the Robot is a player’s starting character (starting characters never begin with spoints; the Robot is the only character who breaks this rule). The same applies if the Robot is drawn as a secondary character, it immediately gains six spoints (whereas all other characters only gain three). In this way, the Robot always begins stronger than the humans it protects and serves. The spoints represent the Robot’s superior strength and intellect.
Armor: Use Muscle For Flail Tests
Like most robots in 1950s sci-fi flicks, the Robot is covered with protective plate armor. Similarly, the Robot is not known for its speed (this is the reason the Robot has no SPEED score). The Robot lumbers forward making all of its flail checks (defense rolls) versus its high MUSCLE score (an 8).
And, yes… The Robot can be spored just like all other survivors in Shuffling Horror: Roswell 51. As the rulebook notes, such a demise is treated as if the aliens have altered its programming to destroy all humans…

Gen Con, Pittsburgh 68, Roswell 51
The GameWick Gang had a blast shuffling the horror at Gen Con 2017! It was a non-stop, sci-fi double feature for us as we introduced players to the thrills of our new outer space invasion game, ROSWELL 51, and the classic chills of our shambling zombies in PITTSBURGH 68. Our special evening events had our team of Shufflers running five tables of horror simultaneously! But don’t take our word for it, visit our Shuffling Horror Gallery and see us in action!
