They've Invaded Pleasantville

A two-player wargame of a secret alien invasion in a small American town. One player secretly replaces townspeople with alien-controlled duplicates, using identical counters, misdirection, and bluffing to spread control and establish a hidden headquarters. The other player moves the remaining townspeople, investigates suspicious activity, and fights controlled figures while trying to expose the invasion, destroy the alien sub-commander, and save the town. A random movement table directs townspeople around the map over twelve turns.
