Attack of the Humans is a role-playing game published by Rapport Games in 1990.
Attack of the Humans is a violent and humorous game, a "B monster-movie" system. [1] The simple rules include only three character attributes (Brains, Fitness, and Common Sense), each of which is the prime requisite for one of three character classes (Braniacs, Athletes, and Typical Persons). [1] Each class gets a certain number of skill points, which are used to buy skills, the base scores of which are linked to the three attributes. [1] There are brief skill descriptions and guidelines for running the game, but the core of the rules is its list of "Common Monsters," including alien brain men, animated apparel, blind telepathic albino city gators, evil stuffed toys, disembodied body parts, floating bottled brains, and possessed household pets. [1]
Attack of the Humans was designed by David Durham, with concept and art by Phil Morrissey, and published by Rapport Games in 1990 as a 96-page book. [1]

An attribute is a piece of data that describes to what extent a fictional character in a role-playing game possesses a specific natural, in-born characteristic common to all characters in the game. That piece of data is usually an abstract number or, in some cases, a set of dice. Some games use different terms to refer to an attribute, such as statistic, (primary) characteristic or ability. A number of role-playing games like Fate do not use attributes at all.
Character creation is the process of defining a game character or other character. Typically, characters possess individual strengths and weaknesses represented by a set of statistics. Games with a fictional setting may include traits such as race, class, or species. Games with a more contemporary or narrower setting may limit customization to physical and personality traits. This is usually used in role-playing games.
