## Description
Get ready for a space trip that'll have you rolling with laughter... and maybe a little bit scared! In 'This Game Is KILLER: Alien on Board', you and your friends are trapped on a cramped cargo ship, with a hungry alien looking to turn the crew into a snack. The goal? Survive at all costs and put an end to this intergalactic threat before it finishes everyone off.

Each round, you'll receive two cards that can be used in two ways: to indicate your location on the ship or to perform a special action. The twist is that you play one card at a time, and then the turn order reverses for you to use the second card. In the end, you'll always have a defined position and action. Then comes the suspense: the alien's location is revealed. If you're in the same spot and have the highest priority, you're done for! Or worse, if a crewmate's action eliminates you, goodbye! Death comes quickly here, but don't worry, in ten minutes you'll be back for another round of chaos and fun.

The trick to winning (or at least delaying the inevitable) is to use luck and skill to corner the alien in one of the ejection bays. Who knows, maybe you'll send it into space along with a colleague who was in the wrong place at the wrong time! Forget complex deduction; this is pure survival with a touch of dark space humor. It's the kind of game that makes you scream in terror and laugh at the same time, perfect for that group that enjoys a little light tension and a quick game.
