IF this happens, you can play your next game of the 1982 version with a pack leader dog (a dog that behaves differently throughout the game).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new element in the game: teeth! The Thule Station crew discovers that the Alien cannot assimilate and duplicate metal parts, so dental fillings become a way to find out if a person is definitely human, but not if they are alien. The test with the wire and the flamethrower disappears and flashlights are added with which it will be possible to carry out a test and look at the teeth of the other characters, checking for the presence or lack of fillings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new location is available for the Thing: The UFO! It represents the last hope of escape for the Thing, as in the movie. The final confrontation with any remaining humans will take place here. Of course, this is only an option, and just like the dog escape mentioned above, it doesn't necessarily happen! Everything will depend on your behavior, as you can win or lose in many ways!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the 2011 film, as soon as they found out what's going on, people's behavior becomes more selfish, trying by all means to save their own lives. We therefore decided to try to include the possibility of a solitary escape, an element that will bring the level of distrust to the maximum! This also brings new mechanics, such as the ability to voluntarily sabotage vehicles even if you are human.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe expansion will contain: a new board, new characters, new cards and new tokens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoodie Cat Game Lounge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52164473454873,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/9345\/4361\/files\/thethingnorweigenoutpost.webp?v=1775261458","url":"https:\/\/hoodie-catgamelounge.com\/products\/the-thing-norwegian-outpost","provider":"Hoodie Cat Game Lounge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
