At Toy Fair 2017, Mondo and USAopoly's Project Raygun division announced an all-new board game set in the universe of John Carpenter's classic horror film, The Thing. Back in February, we weren't allowed to talk about what we'd seen. With the official reveal of The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 yesterday, everybody now knows what Mondo and Project Raygun have in store for players.
To learn a bit more about the development of Infection at Outpost 31 and how Mondo was able to turn such a tense film into a table top game, we spoke with Mondo's creative director Jay Shaw. But was he being honest, or was he just trying to convince us he wasn't an alien monster?
Do you love The Thing? Do you wish you, too, could trap yourself in a snowed-in bunker with a bunch of other people and one bloodthirsty, shapeshifting alien? Good news! Mondo, the company behind pretty much every amazing non-official movie poster you’ve ever seen, has come out with a board game based on the John Carpenter classic, and we’ve got your first look at it right here.
