The Thing: The Board Game - Kickstarter Core Box + Weather Die

The board game The Thing transports you into the setting of John Carpenter's 1982 cult horror classic!

The Thing is a hidden identity game featuring an alien entity trying to escape the research station. It is entirely up to the creature whether it cooperates with the humans to escape together or acts like a true monster and assimilates the entire team one by one.

During the game, players must try to survive, keep Outpost 31 running, and choose the best path to escape. Most importantly, you must uncover the alien in your ranks.

The road to victory is tough, but not impossible. The paranoia of not knowing who is on your side will heavily influence your decisions.

The game is in English.

Includes 4 "KS-exclusive" characters (Palmer, Childs, Dr. Fuchs, Copper), the Norwegian Outpost miniature expansion (The Thing 2011), and a special bonus: a glow-in-the-dark weather die.
