Watch “La cosa Unboxing del Kickstarter,” a board game unboxing for The Thing: The Boardgame from Atalaya Vigia on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Atalaya Vigia on YouTube:
Os traigo un kickstarter que esperaba hace tiempo. Y donde todo podría haber ido mal y el esfuerzo de los implicados lo ha sacado adelante.
Juego de roles ocultos, que consiste en colaborar para escapar de una base helada en la antartida mientras un monstruo que te cagas de miedo va asimilando y copiando a tus compañeros.
Curioso que la forma fácil de ganar es dejar que te asimilen cuanto antes comprendas esto mejor.
En el vídeo se ven los extras, minis, El puesto noruego, Troll norge, etc.

About The Thing: The Boardgame, from BoardGameGeek:
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.
