We don’t do this often, but the District 9 Board Game from the WETA Workshop is available for preorder for 2 days only. This game was originally going to be Kickstarter for $169, then canceled, then picked up by manufacturing, and now peaking into the open again. We’ll be discounting it a bit off the Kickstarter for preorders, and the exact contents may vary slightly from their original solicit, but the game’s concept looks amazing. If you’re not familiar with WETA, they’re the special effects folks. Yeah, THOSE special effects folks. Insane quality, insane look, rarely reprinted, these games are a solid gamers or collect.
