La Criatura

Players are trapped in a scientific base with a creature from another world and must survive until a rescue helicopter arrives. This competitive hidden-role card game supports 3 to 10 players, with infection passing between scientists as character cards are shuffled and reassigned. Each turn includes an event phase, a voting phase to sedate a scientist, and a movement phase in which the creature can infect another player. Players use event cards, gather weapons, and try to identify the infected while concealing their own role. At the end, everyone competes for the helicopter’s single seat; the escaping scientist wins, whether human, infected, or the creature itself.
