This Game Is Killer: Alien on Board

Same problem as Frozen Horror, except now you are in space and nobody can hear you accuse each other.

The first game in Ivan Turner's This Game Is Killer line. A ship, a crew, and something aboard that is not crew. Everybody is trying to work out who, while the thing in question does its best to help with the investigation.

Ten to twenty minutes a round and it goes to ten players, which makes it one of the few social deduction games that actually suits a large gathering rather than merely tolerating one. Standalone — it does not need Frozen Horror and Frozen Horror does not need it, though the two share a shape and people who like one usually want the other.

Perfect for: anyone who has watched Alien and immediately wanted to be the one who gets to lie about it.

3–10 players | 10–20 minutes
