Description

In Stay Away!, 4-12 players try to track down "The Thing", a creature that has the capability of possessing the human body, cloning it, then 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. The researchers are looking for The Thing; their goal is to work together to identify which player is The Thing and roast it with a "Flamethrower" card. You remain Human until The Thing passes an "Infected!" card to you during a card exchange, at which point you become an Infected and take on that new Role: You are now an ally of The Thing and must take care that its identity is not revealed. What's new in this new version: All-new graphics and illustrations in pure Escape Studios style. Minor bug fixes. Rules improvements. Introduction of the "Adrenaline" mode that allows you to play more cards during your turn. New Stay Away cards! - Grenade! Throw a grenade that rolls on the table, but be careful because after 4 turns it will explode! - Mirror Reflection! Avoid being roasted and roast whoever wanted to eliminate you! With this card you will eliminate the player who wanted to eliminate you with a grenade or flamethrower! - Rage! If you are the target of an Analysis card, avoid showing your cards and exchange a card with each of the players! - Dynamite! (Exclusive card for Gamefound pre-order only). Leave it in front of a teammate, but be careful because whoever is in that place after four turns will explode! New Panic card effects including the one we are most proud of: - Feign Death! The first player who was eliminated returns to the game in the role he had before being eliminated. Draw 4 “Stay Away!” cards and occupy the place where you were playing. What else to say. This is a completely new version that we are sure will give you endless hours of fun, but the real question is another: Can you trust your Friends? —description from the publisher
