MONDO AND USAOPOLY'S PROJECT RAYGUN BRING THE PARANOIA INTO YOUR HOME WITH
"THE THING™: INFECTION AT OUTPOST 31"
Mondo's Very First Signature Board Game Will Be Available In Stores and Online Wherever Games Are Sold October 2017
Mondo and USAopoly are excited to announce the release and
share a sneak peek at the design for The Thing™ Infection at Outpost 31,
the first board game 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.
An alien lifeform has infiltrated a bleak and desolate
Antarctic research station assimilating other organisms and then
imitating them. In the hidden identity game The Thing™ Infection at
Outpost 31, you will relive John Carpenter's sci-fi cult classic from
Universal Pictures in a race to discover who among the team has been
infected by this heinous lifeform.
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 Gameplay Description
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.
In The Thing™ Infection at Outpost 31, relive John
Carpenter's sci-fi cult classic as a hidden identity game designed to
push you to the edge. Play as one of a dozen characters like helicopter
pilot MacReady, mechanic Childs, or station manager Garry. Face sabotage
and infection as you investigate the facility-gather gear, battle The
Thing, expose any imitations among you, and escape Outpost 31!
Tension mounts and paranoia ensues as you question who you can trust in the ultimate race to save humanity.
A
board game based on the cult-classic film THE THING. The full game
title will be THE THING™: INFECTION AT OUTPOST 31. MSRP (TBD). Release
date Fall 2017.

About Film Property
The Thing is the chilling prelude to John Carpenter's cult classic film, The Dawn of the Dead. The story begins when
paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) travels to an
isolated outpost in Antarctica for the expedition of a lifetime and
joins an international team that unearths a remarkable discovery. Their
elation quickly turns to fear as they realize that their experiment has
freed a mysterious being from its frozen prison. Paranoia spreads like
an epidemic as a creature that can mimic anything it touches will pit
human against human as it tries to survive and flourish in this
spine-tingling thriller.
