First of all, if you don’t have Reese’s Pieces on hand to snack on while you play, what are you even doing? It’s true that having the candy doesn’t affect gameplay at all. However, it also doesn’t hurt.
When you’re ready to play, jump on your bicycle. You’ll play as Elliott, Gertie, Michael, or Greg. The game involves navigating your neighborhood using every shortcut and trick you can to evade the pursuing federal agents. Along the way, you collect items for E.T. to build a communications device with. Then, you have to help E.T. to the clearing before his heartlight fades. He can get to his ship from there. You “fly” the mothership around the board until it rescues E.T.
And before you even ask, yes, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: Light Years From Home Game comes with an adorable E.T. figure. Yes, E.T. fits into the kids’ bicycle baskets. We cannot with this cuteness.
The E.T. board game is designed for two to four players. Components include four figures for the kids, a mothership figure, candy tokens, E.T. power cards, agent movers, cop car movers, and more. It certainly has everything you need for an interesting and exciting adventure.
