The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 Returns

I really liked the vast majority of this game, but man, I wish they would take the opportunity to make some changes.

We determined after only a play or two it's much better for any infected to simply play as a good guy. There's no incentive to deviate from this strategy.

I had actually sold this one off for a nice chunk on eBay, and then the jerk who bought it returned it because he was too dumb to figure out how to remove the board from the insert. I basically paid for the privilege of sending my game to him, then paid for him to send it back. I have not used ebay since.

I plan to give my copy to a friend of mine who likes it more than I do. My biggest complaints are that you never want to play past 6 players since people just sit around doing nothing, and as Charlie mentions, there just isn't enough opportunity to be "evil" when infected. It's entirely in character to act as human as possible. Unfortunately that is not very fun.
