Description

The Thing: The Boardgame is a thrilling experience that brings the horror and paranoia of the original film to your tabletop. In this hidden role game, one player takes on the role of the alien, while the others play as humans trying to survive and escape from the outpost. The Thing's goal is to infect the humans, sabotage their efforts, or blend in and escape with them, adding a layer of social deduction and mistrust to the game. As players manage Outpost 31, they must navigate the challenges of keeping the boiler and generator running, feeding themselves, and uncovering the alien's true identity. With its semi-cooperative gameplay and traitor mechanics, The Thing: The Boardgame is a tense and immersive experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat for 60 to 90 minutes, whether you're playing with a small group or up to 8 players.
