Bug-Eyed Monsters is a science fiction board game published by West End Games in 1983. Set in an alternate 1951, it depicts an alien invasion of Earth confronted by period figures including President Dwight Eisenhower, casting the conflict in the pulp science fiction idiom of 1950s B-movies rather than realistic military simulation. Players take opposing sides of the invaders and Earth's defenders across scenarios built around the game's retro-futuristic premise, placing it among the lighter, theme-driven wargames West End Games produced in the early 1980s alongside its licensed and original science fiction lines.
