Product information
The Thing - The Boardgame is an intense gaming experience for 1-8 players based on the cult film from 1982 directed by John Carpenter. It is a game that blends various mechanics to create an experience that is as true as possible to the original film.
The Thing - The Boardgame is a "hidden role" game where one player is initially The Thing, and the other players are humans. The goal of The Thing is to infect others, to prevent the survivors from escaping the base (which can happen in three different ways), or to try to escape with them by acting like a human.
In addition to these elements, players must also manage Outpost 31. The game board shows the same rooms as in the film, and each of these rooms allows players to perform a different action. Human players must feed themselves and keep the kettle and generator running to avoid being in cold and darkness. The Thing will attempt to sabotage these places to make life difficult for humans...or, try to camouflage itself among humans and infect them when the perfect opportunity arises.
You must cooperate to survive – but who is really on your side? And if you reveal The Thing – are you ready to fight it? The path to victory is truly hard, but not impossible. However, be careful!
The rules for 1-3 players are included inside the box, with all the necessary components to play.
