Battle Bodies is a board game where players use different body parts to build a team of battle bodies to face off on an alien arena. Players represent new Nalit Battle Master recruits, out to prove themselves in the Nalit battle arena. The Nalit is an alien race, travelling through space and time, collecting samples of different life forms from various planets, and pitting them against each other in the Nalit battle arena. Their current focus is the human race, and this is bad news for the human samples collected for the next round of battles. Each Nalit Battle Master is required to build the best army possible to face the army of the other battle masters in the arena. The winner is the last remaining Battle Master that can deliver a full battle body to the battle field. —description from the designer
