It is a \"hidden role\" game, in which one player is initially the Thing and the others players are humans. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to these elements, players also have to manage Outpost 31. On the map are 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 humans...or not, trying to camouflage itself among the humans and infect them when the perfect opportunity presents itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ares Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39615547408435,"sku":"AREARTG019 AGSARTG019","price":52.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5089905.jpg?v=1636409938"},{"product_id":"the-thing-norwegian-outpost","title":"The Thing: Norwegian Outpost","description":"\u003ctable padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/giuseppe-cicero\"\u003eGiuseppe Cicero\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/andrea-crespi\"\u003eAndrea Crespi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/all\/pendragon-game-studio\"\u003ePendragon Game Studio\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-90 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion for \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/the-thing-the-boardgame\"\u003eThe Thing: The Boardgame \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/the-thing-norwegian-outpost-miniatures-set\"\u003eThe Thing: Norwegian Outpost Miniatures Set \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e321016\/thing-norwegian-outpost\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/321016\/thing-norwegian-outpost\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThis expansion for The Thing - The Boardgame allows you to experience the events that happened at Thule Station, the Norwegian station where it all began! As for the 1982 version, the expansion lets you relive the tensest moments from the story, transporting you into the cinematic film!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe core element of the game is based on the emulation properties of the Thing, which will hide its identity under a blanket of fake humanity, but with substantial differences in the way they interact with the game and with your feelings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are the key points of the expansion:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A new board, new characters, and new materials.\u003cbr\u003e A new end game condition represented by the escape of the dog that will arrive at Outpost 31. IF this happens, you can play your next game of the 1982 version with a pack leader dog (a dog that behaves differently throughout the game).\u003cbr\u003e A new element in the game: teeth! The Thule Station crew discovers that the Alien cannot assimilate and duplicate metal parts, so dental fillings become a way to find out if a person is definitely human, but not if they are alien. The test with the wire and the flamethrower disappears and flashlights are added with which it will be possible to carry out a test and look at the teeth of the other characters, checking for the presence or lack of fillings.\u003cbr\u003e A new location is available for the Thing: The UFO! It represents the last hope of escape for the Thing, as in the movie. The final confrontation with any remaining humans will take place here. Of course, this is only an option, and just like the dog escape mentioned above, it doesn't necessarily happen! Everything will depend on your behavior, as you can win or lose in many ways!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 2011 film, as soon as they found out what's going on, people's behavior becomes more selfish, trying by all means to save their own lives. We therefore decided to try to include the possibility of a solitary escape, an element that will bring the level of distrust to the maximum! This also brings new mechanics, such as the ability to voluntarily sabotage vehicles even if you are human.\u003cbr\u003e The expansion will contain: a new board, new characters, new cards and new tokens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pendragon Game Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39615547637811,"sku":"AREARTG020 AGSARTG020","price":42.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5726092.png?v=1636410015"},{"product_id":"the-thing-norwegian-outpost-miniatures-set","title":"The Thing: Norwegian Outpost Miniatures Set","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/the-thing-norwegian-outpost\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Thing – Norwegian Outpost\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is an intense game experience for 4 to 8 players based on the 2011 prequel to the cult movie, expanding The Thing - The Boardgame with a new setting and new rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Thing: Norwegian Miniatures Set\u003c\/strong\u003e includes eight character miniatures and their character sheets, to expand your choice of characters when playing \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/the-thing-the-boardgame\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Thing - The Boardgame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, adding to the game the main protagonists of the 2011 movie, such as Sam Carter or Doctor Sander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt also enhances the experience of playing with the Norwegian Outpost expansion, using these highly detailed character miniatures to replace the character standees you canfind inside the expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe set also includes a new (and scary!)
