A New Look at ‘The Thing’ Board Game from Mondo
This is Outpost 31 to anybody out there… we found something.
Mondo and Project Ray Gun announced the game based on the Carpenter classic in May. The two companies have made the game as true to the movie as possible – the game play will have players feeling the same tension created in the film as they try to track down the infected. It’s got a great creepy soundtrack already available to help players get into it…
In The Thing™ Infection at Outpost 31, relive John Carpenter’s sci-fi cult classic as a hidden identity game designed to push you to the edge. 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! Tension mounts and paranoia ensues as you question who you can trust in the ultimate race to save humanity.
The regular version has art from Phantom City Creative, it hits stores and online retailers nationwide in October. There will also be a limited edition – only 1,982 copies will be sold – will be available at MondoTees.com. It includes different artwork, a Mondo print, enamel collectors pin, and two additional movers: the Norwegian character and the Palmer Thing.
