Heavy Thursday Worcester - The Thing

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.

Our Heavy Thursday evenings are the perfect way to explore a more complex title from our library. The game will be set up for your arrival at 7pm, a member of our team will explain all the rules to you so no need to know anything about the game in advance and they will stay with you throughout your play through to answer any questions you may have about the game whilst you enjoy the game.

Come on down and give it a go!
