THE THING BOARD GAME - The official board game based on the cult movie of 1982, The Thing, is a tense, cinematic experience for 1-8 players. The game focuses on the emulation and assimilation properties of the alien, hiding its identity under a veil of fake humanity. The Alien's true objective is to escape from the base, choosing to hide itself and collaborate with humans, or to reveal its true nature, playing as a monster to openly assimilate all the team members.
Humans must try to survive, maintaining Outpost 31 and choosing the best way to escape among the three available, but most importantly, they have to test the other team members to reveal the alien and find who is still human. The road to victory is truly hard, but not impossible. Be careful, though! The paranoia of not knowing who you really have on your side may cloud your decisions.
The game offers eight characters with different special abilities for players to choose from. Players must discuss with their companions, with rising paranoia, about who is still human and to be trusted, and covertly change their strategy when they are no longer human and become part of the Thing.
The playing time for The Thing Board Game is 60-120 minutes, and it is suitable for players aged 13 and above. The tense, cinematic experience of this game based on the cult film directed by the master of movie-making, John Carpenter, is sure to captivate players and keep them on the edge of their seats. The game's focus on the emulation and assimilation properties of the alien, and the need for humans to survive and reveal the imposter, create a thrilling and suspenseful gameplay experience.
