I just ran an Awful Green Things game at a boardgame meetup, with two other players who had never heard of the game.

I told them I could either be referee or a player, and that they could play either side or cooperate as the crew.

They chose to cooperate as the crew against me as the aliens. I had them alternate choosing crew sections to control, with the Robot counting as a section.

Then we had a really fun game! They really got into it, and afterwards said they had really enjoyed playing in cooperative mode.
