Description

3.8

In The Thing: The Boardgame, paranoia and betrayal are the name of the game as you and your fellow players struggle to survive in a remote Antarctic outpost. One player starts as the alien Thing, secretly infecting others and sabotaging the base while the humans try to keep the lights on, stay fed, and escape. Perfect for fans of hidden-role games who love tense, thematic experiences that mirror the classic film's atmosphere.
