Check Out ‘The Thing’ Board Game

It looks like there’s another Kurt Russell classic heading to board game format, alongside Big Trouble in Little China. Described as a “hidden identity game designed to push you to the edge,” The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 will allow you to relive John Carpenter’s classic horror movie.

It was rumoured a few weeks back that a board game based on The Thing was coming soon and now the first images and details have been released. The game “recreates the tension and mystery of The Thing as players race to discover who among them are infected in the hidden identity game play engine.”

In the game…

An alien lifeform has infiltrated a bleak and desolate Antarctic research station assimilating other organisms and then imitating them. In the hidden identity game The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31, you will relive John Carpenter’s sci-fi cult classic in a race to discover who among the team has been infected by this heinous lifeform.

Play as one of a dozen characters like helicopter pilot MacReady, mechanic Childs, or station manager Garry. Face sabotage and infection as you investigate the facility—gather gear, battle The Thing, expose any imitations among you, and escape Outpost 31!

Keep an eye out for the game getting a release around Halloween.
