## Overview

The Thing: The Boardgame by Ares Games is a 1-8 player hidden role board game inspired by the iconic film, delivering 60-90 minutes of intense social deduction and survival gameplay. Players navigate Outpost 31, managing resources and suspicion as they attempt to identify or embody the alien threat, making it a must-have for fans craving immersive, strategic game nights.

## Description

Human players have to feed themselves and keep the boiler and the generator on to avoid being in the cold and dark. The Thing will try to sabotage these places to make life difficult for humans...or not, trying to camouflage itself among the humans and infect them when the perfect opportunity presents itself. The goal of the game designers was to bring the same personal emotions and paranoia that the protagonists of the film experienced to the gaming table.

## Features

- “We're Not Gettin' Out of Here Alive. But Neither Is That Thing”: The Thing is a game that mixes different mechanisms to create an experience that is as faithful as possible to that of the original film.
- “Nobody Trusts Anybody Now, And We're All Very Tired”: It is a "hidden role" game, in which one player is initially the Thing and the others players are humans.
- “If It Takes Us Over, Then It Has No More Enemies, Nobody Left To Kill It. And Then It's Won”: 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.
- “Anyone messes with me... and the whole camp goes!”: In addition to these elements, players also have to manage Outpost 31.
- “Somebody in this camp ain't what he appears to be”: On the map are the same rooms as seen in the film, and each of these rooms allows players to perform a different action.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning curve but really fun game
*by S***E on July 7, 2024*

Bought this game for my husband’s birthday; he’s a big fan of the movie. Love that you can play this solo, and in a small or large group. So many different strategies to use during play that it keeps the game entertaining even after multiple plays. It took a few test runs and you tube videos tutorials before we finally figured out all the rules and abilities, but even that part was fun. Quality is good; lots of pieces, but you mostly use them all during play. A great value for the price!
