What players say

Thirst is definitely one of the better board games I’ve played in a while. The gameplay is short, sweet, and simple to understand, while also providing a lot of fun actions and outcomes.

Wonderfully evocative mechanics to the setting, gameplay is familiar of other games in the genre but has its own identity. Fun for fans of immersive horror games!
