Is your best friend human… or an imitation?
You and your friends will be able to experience John Carpenter’s The Thing like never before thanks to Mondo and Project Raygun’s forthcoming board game The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31, which promises to “recreate the tension and mystery of The Thing as players race to discover who among them are infected.”
The board game will be on full display at Mondo’s booth (#835) at this week’s San Diego Comic Con, but even before doors open, they’ve decided to give us an early taste.
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!
Look for it in stories and online this October, with Mondo getting an exclusive version.
