The Thing: The Cardgame planned for November 10 Gamefound campaign
Pendragon's new standalone card game is set to join the returning board game, though key details remain undisclosed.
Pendragon Game Studio plans to bring a new standalone The Thing: The Cardgame to Gamefound alongside the return of The Thing: The Boardgame. According to Backseat Gamer's November 8 report, the campaign is scheduled to open on November 10, 2026, giving returning fans a new game to consider rather than just another opportunity to pick up the existing board game.
Pendragon's campaign update, as reported by Backseat Gamer, promises to carry the board game's tension and paranoia into a different format. That describes the publisher's aim, not an established assessment of how the card game plays. The report said rules, player counts and prices had not been revealed as of November 8.
The existing board game is a hidden-role game for one to eight players based on John Carpenter's 1982 horror film. Those specifications belong to the board game, not the newly announced card game. Players interested in the standalone release will need its own rules and player count to judge whether it suits their group, while pricing will be another key detail to check when the planned campaign opens.
