The Thing Board Game: Mondo and USAopoly drag John Carpenter inspired game home in time for Halloween
Mondo and USAopoly have just announced the upcoming release of their amazing The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 board game, the first in a collaboration with USAopoly’s designer games division, Project Raygun. The regular version of the game will be in stores and online nationwide this October, and a limited edition Mondo exclusive version will be available at MondoTees.com. The game aims to make you relive John Carpenter’s 1982 horror/sci-fi masterpiece The Thing in a race to discover who among the team has been infected by an evil, shape-shifting life-form.
Game Synopsis: It is the start of the bleak, desolate Antarctic winter when a group of NSF researchers manning the claustrophobic, isolated U.S. Outpost 31 comes into contact with a hostile extraterrestrial lifeform. Bent on assimilating Earth’s native species, this being infiltrates the facility-creating a perfect imitation of one of the Outpost 31 crew. The staff frantically begin a sweep of the base, desperate to purge this alien infection before escaping to warn McMurdo Station that somewhere, out there in the frigid darkness, something horrible is waiting.

The game has been designed to be as authentically cinematic as possible, ensuring that the players will experience the paranoia and tension that makes the film so great. The regular version of the game features artwork and designs by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative. The Mondo exclusive version, sold exclusively through MondoTees.com, is limited to 1,982 copies, and features different packaging artwork by Jock. The limited edition game will also come with a Mondo print, enamel pin and two additional sculpted movers: the Norwegian character and the “Palmer Thing”.
The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 will be in stores in October 17th. Visit the Mondo Official Site, Facebook and Twitter for more information.
