District 9: The Boardgame

Players take on rival factions competing to control a volatile urban district and recover alien technology during the three days of escalating unrest. The modular board is built from varied district tiles and each player places a starting entry point at the board edge. Players issue orders to move units, interact with local characters, and resolve conflicts while using cards to augment actions and abilities. Events tied to the narrative increase tension and alter objectives as the game progresses toward a climactic showdown. Victory is determined by who salvages the most alien tech by the end of play.
