Description

The Thing: Norwegian Outpost is an exciting expansion for The Thing: The Boardgame, letting you experience the thrilling events that took place at Thule Station, the Norwegian station where the story began. Designed by Andrea Crespi and Giuseppe Cicero, this 2022 release is perfect for 4 to 8 players and offers a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes. With normal complexity rules, fans of board games will have no issue diving into this semi-cooperative game, where hidden roles and traitor mechanics come into play. As you navigate the game, you'll be transported into the cinematic world of the 1982 film, reliving the tensest moments and trying to uncover the truth about the alien invasion. In this expansion, you'll find new characters, a new board, and fresh materials to enhance your gameplay experience. The introduction of teeth as a game element adds a new layer of strategy, as dental fillings become a way to identify humans, but not aliens. With the possibility of a solitary escape, the level of distrust among players reaches new heights, and the ability to sabotage vehicles voluntarily adds a new level of complexity to the game. Will you work together to survive, or will you try to save yourself at all costs? The Thing: Norwegian Outpost offers a thrilling experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat, with multiple paths to victory or defeat, depending on your actions and decisions.
