Games like The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31

Looking for games like The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31? It's a strategy game with real decisions on every turn — built on asymmetric powers that make your side play unlike any other and the paranoia of not knowing who's really on your side. This page rounds up 12 of the closest alternatives, scored on mechanical overlap with the original (45%), complexity match (35%), and player-count fit (20%), then weighted by BoardGameGeek community ratings so every pick is one players genuinely rate. The strongest matches come first; the further down you go, the more a game trades exact overlap for a fresh take on the same core appeal.
