Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. The game comes with sixty - four figurines of cultists, monsters, aliens, and Great Old Ones, ranging from about 20 mm to nearly 180 mm in height. It takes place on an Earth map. Each player chooses one of four base - game factions. At turn start, gather power, then in action rounds, spend it on tasks like recruiting cultists, moving units, battling, summoning monsters, building gates, casting spells, and awakening your Great Old One. When power runs out, the action phase ends and the next turn begins. Victory is about accumulating points on the Doom Track. The first to 30 wins if they unlock all six spell books. Different factions have unique monsters, spell books, and special abilities, with different requirements to get their spell books, offering multiple strategies. The base game supports 2 - 4 players (the map can handle 5), and with expansions, it can support up to 8 players. At TheGameSteward, we're excited to back campaigns for games like this. A good part of your spending on this collection will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.

How to play: First, pick your faction from the four available in the base game. At the start of each turn, gather power. Then, during action rounds, use this power to do different things like getting cultists, moving your units around the Earth - themed map, fighting other players, calling on monsters, building gates, using spells, and waking up your Great Old One. Keep an eye on the Doom Track. Try to be the first to reach 30 points, but remember, you have to unlock all six spell books to win. Things to note: The paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless it says so. Also, while the base game is for 2 - 4 players, the map can handle 5, and with expansions, you can have up to 8 players. Maintenance: Keep the figurines in a dry place to prevent any damage to the glow - in - the - dark feature. When not in use, store the game in its box to keep all the pieces together.
