The catalogue lists Alien Frontiers: Galactic Pack for ages 13 and up.

The catalogue lists Alien Frontiers: Galactic Pack as an expansion for Alien Frontiers. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Alien Frontiers to use it. Check that your edition of Alien Frontiers is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
