This Game Is Killer: Alien on Board is a fast, semi-cooperative survival card game. Every player receives two cards, secretly chooses one as a location and the other as an action, then reveals them in priority order. If the alien appears at a crew member’s location, the highest-priority target there dies; other effects can move, isolate, protect, or eject threats with equally abrupt consequences. The crew shares a desire to remove the xenomorph, but survival is individual and elimination is immediate. Ten-minute rounds, simultaneous choices, and support for up to ten players make each attack a compact burst of suspicion and chaos.
