Stay Away!

Humans versus the Thing

A rescue expeditions runs into trouble – „The Thing“ has escaped and wants to infect all humans or kill them, the humans in turn must identify and eliminate „The Thing“. A card stack of „Panic“ and „Stay Away“ cards – cards for infection, action, defense or obstacle - plus always one „The Thing“ card is prepared in relation to the number of players.

A turn of a player is always the same: You draw a card, deal with it according to its type and then exchange a card with the next player in turn, when there is no obstacle between you. This player must take the card without knowing it and gives back any of his cards.

When the card that you did draw at the start of your turn was a „Stay away!” card, you can play a „Stay away!” card from your hand, implement it and discard it or as an alternative discard a card from your hand, face-down. At the start and the end of your turn you always have four cards in hand and can usually only play cards onto your left or right neighbor. Only “The Thing” player can infect others by playing “Infected” at them and therefore knows all roles. During the game you can talk, bluff, but never show your cards; the instructions on a card always take precedence over the general rules of the game.

When the humans play correctly and pay attention, they can cope with The Thing, on the other hand The Thing alone knows who is who at any moment and therefore can also win. Challenging entertainment full of action, based on the werewolf game principle, and a bit dependent on the luck of the draw, as “Panic” cards must be played immediately.
