Film: The Thing
Games: Numbers Up, Chess, Easy Money, Backgammon, Word Yahtzee, Stay Alive, Gribbit, 1914, unidentified
There are several board games on the shelves of the leisure room in the station where the film happens, most of them by MB. We also see there model kits, puzzles, books and magazines.
We can see most of the games in detail during one dramatic (and spoilery) scene towards the end of the movie (that is, if you pause the image!).

Most of the board games are on the shelves at the left of the image. At the lower left corner we see the original 1975 edition of Numbers Up. |

Bottom of the image: 1978 E.S. Lowe´s Word Yahtzee, 1978 MB's Stay Alive and another backgammon (pink box) |
The orange boxes are not games, but table tennis sets. The red box is a chess set. MB's Gribbit can be clearly seen at the bottom of the image. Unidentified maroon box at its left. |
Bottom of the image, at the left of the character: Big Ben (puzzle), Avalon Hill's 1914, 1977 MB's Chess, 1974 edition of Easy Money, 1973 MB's Backgammon. |
A bad ending for the games... but it seems Numbers Up will survive. |
