Be the first to launch all three of your Aliens to safety!
Charge Your Drone
•
Before you can play, you must make sure it has “fuel”!
•
Using the included USB cord and your own wall charger, plug
in the Drone and let it charge for 10 minutes.
Set Up
(once your Drone is “fueled up”!)
•
Add 4 AAA batteries to the Launch Pad.
•
Attach the Launch Ramps to
the Launch Pad.
•
Make sure the Drone is on the Launch Pad.
•
Each player chooses which color Aliens to use, and then
gather those three and place them near the end of the Launch
Ramp you’ll be using.
•
Place one of your Aliens in front of the launch lever at the end
of your Launch Ramp and practice hitting the lever to launch
your
Alien down the ramp.
Play
•
Each player should place one Alien in front of their launch lever,
with their finger ready to strike the lever!
•
Everyone countdown “3…2…1…DRONE HOME!” and then
start racing!
•
All players are trying at once to land their Aliens inside the Drone so
they can fly away!
•
Once an Alien lands inside the Drone, there is a short pause before
the Drone liftoff, so there is time to launch your Alien down to knock
out another Alien and maybe take its place!
•
If the Drone flies away with an Alien, that Alien is now out and that
player is closer to winning!
•
Note: The Drone can launch with more than one Alien inside, and it
counts for each player whose Alien flies away!
•
Once the Drone launches and gets at least a foot away from the
Launch Pad, the Alien(s) is considered out!
•
Any Aliens who fly away with the Drone are placed out of play. Toss
them in the game box or set them off to the side—you can no
longer play with them. This makes it a bit trickier to play because
you have fewer Aliens to race the closer you get to winning!
•
As you play, you’re going to have to get up and gather your Aliens
that perhaps ran off the table or onto the floor…and that’s part of
the fun!
Winning the Game
The first player to get all of their Aliens to liftoff with the Drone wins!
If there’s a tie…play a liftoff tie-breaker with winning players racing to
see who can launch an Alien first and declare victory!

This document describes the "Drone Home" game, a product designed for 2 to 4 players aged 8 and up. The game's objective is to be the first player to launch all three of their Aliens to safety using a drone.

Function Description:

"Drone Home" is a competitive board game where players race to get their Aliens into a drone, which then takes off, removing the Aliens from play. The game involves a central Drone, a Launch Pad, four Launch Ramps, and 16 Aliens (four per player). Players simultaneously try to launch their Aliens down ramps and into the Drone. Once an Alien lands inside the Drone, there's a brief pause, allowing other players a chance to knock out that Alien and take its place. If the Drone flies away with an Alien inside, that Alien is considered "out" and the player owning it is closer to winning. The Drone can carry multiple Aliens, and each counts for the respective player. Aliens that fly away with the Drone are removed from play. The game becomes progressively trickier as fewer Aliens are available to launch. The first player to successfully get all three of their Aliens to liftoff with the Drone wins. In case of a tie, a tie-breaker liftoff is played.
