Board Game Geek Rating: 7.18, and an average player rating of 8.06! This set is a Kickstarter accessory with 22 sculpted grey gates for the Cthulhu Wars core game. These gates are designed to fit Cultists and Dark Young, allowing them to open portals of destruction. It's from the Onslaught 3 Kickstarter campaign. Note: paid add - ons from the Kickstarter campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise.
Cthulhu Wars is an epic strategy board game where players become alien races and gods from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. The game is large - scale and comes with 64 figurines of cultists, monsters, aliens, and Great Old Ones, ranging from about 20 mm to nearly 180 mm in height.
The game unfolds on an Earth map. Each player represents one of four base - game factions. At the start of a turn, gather power. Then, in action rounds, spend this power 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 a new turn begins. Victory is achieved by getting 30 points on the Doom Track, but only if you've unlocked all six spell books.
Players aim to expand their power and complete six tasks to get their faction's spell books. Each faction has unique monsters, spell books, and special abilities, with different requirements for spell - book acquisition. There are multiple strategies for all factions.
The base game supports 2 - 4 players (the map can handle 5), and with expansions of new factions and maps, it can support up to 8 players.
We're excited to back campaigns to bring you great games like this Cthulhu Wars 22 - piece sculpted grey gates set. A good portion of your purchase will go towards backing new Kickstarter games! If you have questions about buying this game online or need advice, contact The Game Steward.
How to use: First, make sure you have the Cthulhu Wars core game. Then, place the 22 sculpted grey gates on the game map according to the game rules. These gates can be used by Cultists and Dark Young to open portals of destruction. During your turn, you can spend power to build gates and use them in various game actions.
Things to note: Remember that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Also, to win, you need to reach 30 points on the Doom Track and unlock all six spell books.
Maintenance advice: Keep the gates in a dry and clean place to prevent damage. When not in use, store them safely to avoid losing any pieces. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth.
