Android is a detective board game from 2008, published by Fantasy Flight Games and credited to designers Daniel Clark and Kevin Wilson. It is set in a dystopian future and gives the players two weeks of game time in which to solve a murder, uncover a conspiracy and resolve their own personal demons. Each detective character has unique mechanics and a personal subplot, so that no two games play out the same way. Its listed mechanics include action points, connections and hand management, and sessions are long, with the page quoting about three hours for a game. The source gives the player count inconsistently, describing the game as for 2-4 players in one passage and for 3-5 players in another, so the exact range is left as small group play. The game is a heavy narrative strategy design aimed at hobby players.
