Description provided by GAMINGTREND Tabletop on YouTube:
Something is hiding among the survivors at Outpost 31... and it looks just like one of us!
In this preview, we're taking a look at THE THING: THE CARDGAME, from Pendragon Game Studio! Inspired by the terrifying world of John Carpenter's The Thing, this game brings hidden identities, paranoia, sabotage, and survival to your tabletop.
Work together to keep the Antarctic research station operational, repair damaged facilities, and fight against the freezing temperatures. But be careful! One of you is already an alien, and infection can spread to other players without anyone knowing.
Can you uncover The Thing, survive the Antarctic cold, and escape with every human accounted for? Or will the alien make it aboard and doom everyone?
