The Thing card game
As I told you a long time ago (two years maybe ? :lol: ), I've created a Thing card game, which is based on the game \\"Les loups-garous de Thiercelieu\\", using the same game dynamics. In fact, the original game was so close to The Thing concept (paranoia, not knowing who's who) that it seemed obvious to me and a friend that we had to create a Thing version ! Official site of the original game : http://lesloupsgarous.free.fr/htmA/accueilR.htm Quick overview of our Thing version : - There are 9 to 18 players and a game master. The goal for the humans is to destroy the Thing, and for the Things-players to take over all the humans. At the start of the game, every player receives one character card. He is the only one to know if he's human or a Thing. The only moment where he can reveal his card is if he's dead. The game master knows who's who. - There is a day-turn, during which players vote who will submit to a blood -*test*-('") or be executed by the other members of the station as the scientists try to uncover the Thing. Of course, the Thing-players will try their best to look normal and draw suspicion away from them, even if they have to vote against another Thing player in the process. If a Thing performs a blood -*test*-('"), it is revealed and destroyed. If a human performs a blood -*test*-('"), the other players learn that he is human... for now. If a player or a Thing is executed, well... he's dead ! - After that, a night-turn takes place, during which the Things takes over another member of the station. Everybody closes their eyes and the game master calls for the Things to open their eyes and design the player they'll take over. This player is warned that he is now a Thing by the GM who touches his shoulder and his card is exchanged. He is now in the Things team and must do everything he can to make them win. - And so on, until there is only Things or humans left. The dead players also win if they're on the right side (if the Things have won, you win if you're a Thing, even if you died during the game). - Some human characters have special attributes, like the \\"Clark\\" card which allows you to kill another member of the station when you die, the \\"Garry\\" card allows you to tie up 3 members of the station during the night (in the game, not litterally, of course !) or the \\"Copper\\" Clark which allows you to revive somebody killed BEFORE knowing if he's a Thing or not (but beware ! If he's a Thing, he dies and you too !). - I'll try to upload some pics of this game as we'll probably play it on satursday. As it's not an official game, you can't buy it but if you're interested, I'll try to show you more of the game.
