Stay Away!

THE STORY

A group of archeologists has mysteriously disappeared during an expedition to the risen island of R’lyeh. You are a member of a rescue team sent to aid them.

But as you investigate the site, you encounter something terrible that seeks to destroy your team from within…
You’ll need intuition, nerves of steel, and clever acting if you’re going to survive and win the game.

Who will believe you? Who is who and who is what? 
Exactly, “Stay Away!” because you can’t trust anyone and no one will trust you!

So block the doors, quarantine a suspect, reveal your identity to your “allies”, grab a flamethrower or run away from your place… but look carefully where you will end up, because “The Thing” might be closer than you think…

THE CONCEPT

“Stay Away!” is a game for 4-12 players. The underlying philosophy is to get chills of fear while having fun together.

The concept is simple, but effective: this is basically to track down “The Thing”, a creature 
awakened from a nauseating eternal slumber on the emerged R’lyeh island, that has the capability of possessing the human body, cloning it and there taking its place. So, as you play you won’t know who “The Thing” is or when someone will become “The Thing” or who is infected or not.

Having good intuition, to be to pretend, lie and keep your nerves and eyes open are the basis of winning the game, but you never know how it will end: you may be following in the footsteps of “The Thing” but then become” Infected” and have to negotiate in the name of “The Thing”. Anything can happen and this is what creates chaos, fun and tension in the group of players.


THE GOAL OF THE GAME

At the beginning of the game, all players are Humans except the player who receives “The Thing” card in the first round. From that moment on, that player assumes the Role of The Thing and he cannot discard or exchange this card.

A) The Humans
The archaeologists are looking for The Thing. Their goal is to work together to to identify which player is The Thing and roast it with a “Flamethrower” card.

B) The Thing and the Infected
One Human will become The Thing on the first turn. Its goal is to annihilate the Humans or turn them into Infected by passing them an “Infected!” card.
