A Little Game
                        of Big Problems
 By Annie Rush

It's Model UN... ET style!

        Alien Summit is a small roleplaying game for play over dinner, hanging out, or just waiting for the new guy to make his character. In the game, characters are alien delegates trying to solve a delicate situation. Diplomats don't roll dice, but they do have agendas and use alien powers to further their goals.

        This was the scene: we were sitting around on a Saturday afternoon, just a handful of us, and had no plans. Later more people were showing up for our Epic Weekend Tabletop Game, but that wasn't for several hours.
        In times like these, I wished for a simple game for us to play, more talking than combat. I wished for a role playing game that would add a different twist, a new flavor to our conversations.
        For a while I looked for some little game to fill this void. Finding none, I decided to make my own.
        Alien Summit is designed to be played with 3 to 6 players. All you need to play is one standard deck of playing cards and this book. You already have a full color, three-dimensional, 1:1 scale map for the setting. Make good use of it. The rules are simple and diceless, so you can play this game outside your usual gaming area. You could even play in public.

        With no further ado, I welcome you to the Alien Summit.

        Something has gone wrong in outer space. Something's gone so wrong that the four major races (not including humans) need to meet on neutral ground, and nobody's going home until this is solved. Be it kidnapped children, violated trade sanctions, killed royal pets, or something else entirely, the delegates have been sent to Earth.
        An agenda has been mocked up, and is held by the Host. Be careful, the meeting plans and rules can change, and you may be the one to change them.
        The votes must be unanimous; this is the fate of the Universe we speak of. And until the Host declares the meeting adjourned… nobody's going home.
