Copyright © 2023 Ares Games Srl, Sede Legale: Piazza Petrucci 8, 55041 Camaiore (LU), Capitale Sociale € 50000 i. The game does make it difficult to be the Leader for more than one round, but depending on where the token has landed you may not want to spend your whole turn to become the Leader for the next round. At the beginning of a round the Leader will roll a weather die and this will determine how much fuel the base consumes that round. For example the contagion checks, while being a well designed way of players secretly sharing information on who is who, can become tiresome especially if both players are fully human. It works perfectly with a hidden character game and helps develop the sense of uncertainty in every decision, and ultimately, the fun the game brings to the table.
The majority of the iconic ones are here but I can’t figure out why they left out Childs, one of the only survivors at the movies’ climax. The Thing - The Boardgame is a "hidden role" game, in which one player is initially the Thing and the other players are humans. The idea of drawing tokens from a bag to see if a dog infected you is scary but exciting as your role can suddenly switch. These miniatures represent the four stages of evolution of The Thing, with some iconic shapes seen in the movie, such as the Spider-Head or the Norris-Thing.Using these Alien miniatures in place of the standees enriches the game, giving it a more scenic aspect and a stronger impact to the gameplay. We had to put more thought into where we were going and we had to consider where we thought the revealed alien player was. or not, trying to camouflage itself among the humans and infect them when the perfect opportunity presents itself. It is a game that mixes different mechanics to create an experience that is as faithful as possible to that of the original film. This gives a second or third player the chance to become an imitation, making each decision for building a crew, mission and battle even harder.

The rules for player elimination were made clear, but I understand why you’d have a frowny face should this happen to you. I have always loved the way the movie spreads fear and suspicion, and this has led me down a dark path of playing a lot of social deduction games. The purpose of the Thing is to infect others, to prevent the survivors from escaping from the base (which can happen three different ways), or to try to escape with them by behaving as a human. You begin the game with the knowledge that someone is infected and its hard to figure out a specific players true purpose. Our group had “heated” discussions about who should be allowed to use the armory, but since the leader determines actions the answer became: The Leader uses the armory.
Like almost all social deduction/hidden traitor games, The Thing: The Boardgame is built upon the players and the choices made each game.I personally love this small aspect of the game: nothing like our own fear and distrust to hurt ourselves with. The Thing: The Board Game is being published by Pendragon Game Studio, the company behind the 2016 hidden movement game Last Friday, inspired by the genre of slasher films made popular during the 1980s. Or if one of the players acting as The Thing is chosen to join the captain on the Helicopter in the final escape then the players playing as Imitations will win, and the other players all lose. This is the main rule difference between player counts, but the overall feeling with more players is very different.
Human players have to feed themselves and keep the boiler and the generator on to avoid being in the cold and dark.
