## Overview

Ares Games' The Thing: The Boardgame is a thrilling hidden role experience for 1-8 players, featuring 324 puzzle pieces and a detailed Outpost 31 board. Players must manage resources and navigate paranoia as one player secretly becomes the Thing, aiming to infect others or escape. Designed for ages 14+, this strategic game blends suspense, social deduction, and survival in a cinematic setting.

## 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

- The Thing - The Boardgame is a "hidden role" game, in which one player is initially the Thing and the other players are humans. The purpose of the Thing is to infect others, to prevent the survivors from escaping from the base (which can happen in three different ways), or to try to escape with them by behaving as a human.
- In addition to these elements, players also have to manage Outpost 31. The game board shows the same rooms as seen in the film, and each of these rooms allows players to perform a different action. 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 the humans... or not, trying to camouflage itself among the humans and infect them when the perfect opportunity presents itself.
