The Thing Ext.Norwegian Outpost (Fr)

This expansion for The Thing – The Boardgame lets you experience the events that took place at Thule Station, the Norwegian station where it all began! As for the 1982 version, the expansion allows you to relive the most tense moments of the story, transporting you into the cinematic film!

The core element of the game is based on The Thing's emulation properties, which will hide its identity under a cover of false humanity, but with substantial differences in how they interact with the game and with your feelings.

Here are the key points of the extension:

-A new board, new characters and new materials.

-A new endgame condition represented by the dog escaping which will happen 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 throughout the game).

-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 tell if a person is definitely human, but not if they are extraterrestrial. 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 other characters, checking for the presence or absence of fillings.

-A new location is available for the thing: the UFO! He represents the last hope of escape for the Thing, as in the film. The final confrontation with the remaining humans will take place here. Of course, this is only one option, and just like the dog escape mentioned above, it doesn't necessarily happen! Everything will depend on your behavior, because you can win or lose in many ways!

In the 2011 film, as soon as they find out what is happening, people's behavior becomes more selfish, trying by all means to save their own lives. So we decided to try to include the possibility of a solitary escape, an element that will raise the level of distrust to the maximum! This also brings new mechanics, such as the ability to purposely sabotage vehicles even if you're human.

The expansion will contain: a new board, new characters, new cards and new tokens.
