The Thing: The Boardgame
The Thing – The Boardgame is an intense game experience for 1-8 players based on the 1982 cult movie directed by John Carpenter. It is a game that mixes different mechanics to create an experience that is as faithful as possible to that of the original movie.
The Thing: Human miniatures expansion contains a set of four highly detailed character miniatures, to use in place of the Characters standees you can find into the base game box.
These miniatures represent 4 of second characters seen in the movie, such as Copper or Palmer.
Using these Character miniatures in place of the standees enriches the game, giving it a more scenic aspect and a stronger impact to the gameplay.

The Thing is a game that mixes different mechanisms to create an experience that is as faithful as possible to that of the original film. 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.
In 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.
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.
The Ares Boardgame Thing gives you a chance to become part of the action with highly detailed miniatures. This miniatures box set is the perfect addition to your collection. The miniatures have been crafted to perfection and have realistic details, each part of the human figure has been designed with great precision to give a realistic touch to each piece. You will fall in love with this amazing board game set which is sure to provide endless hours of fun and entertainment. Hurry up and grab yours today!
