The Thing – The Boardgame is an intense game experience for 1-8 players
based on the 1982 cult movie directed by John Carpenter. It is a game that
mixes different mechanics to create an experience that is as faithful as
possible to that of the original film.
The Thing – The Boardgame is a
„hidden role” game, in which one player is initially the Thing and the other
players are humans. The purpose of the Thing is to infect others, to prevent
the survivors from escaping from the base (which can happen in three different
ways), or to try to escape with them by behaving as a human.
In
addition to these elements, players also have to manage Outpost 31. The game
board shows the same rooms as seen in the film, and each of these rooms allows
players to perform a different action. Human players have to feed themselves
and keep the boiler and the generator on to avoid being in the cold and dark.
The Thing will try to sabotage these places to make life difficult for the
humans…or not, trying to camouflage itself among the humans and infect them
when the perfect opportunity presents itself.
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 road to victory is
truly hard, but not
impossible. Be careful though!
The 1-3 players rules are included inside
of the box, with all the requested components to play.
