It features the Cacodemon, an independent Great Old One. The expansion includes a Cacodemon figure and a Loyalty Card from the Onslaught 3 Kickstarter campaign. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Cthulhu Wars is a large - scale strategy board game based on H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. It comes with 64 figurines of cultists, monsters, aliens, and Great Old Ones, with heights ranging from about 20 mm to nearly 180 mm. The game unfolds on an Earth - themed map. Each player represents one of four base - game factions. At the start of a turn, players gather power and then spend it in action rounds to recruit cultists, move units, fight battles, summon monsters, build gates, cast spells, and awaken their Great Old One. The action phase ends when players run out of power, and a new turn begins. Victory is achieved by reaching 30 points on the Doom Track, but only if a player has unlocked all six spell books. Each faction has unique monsters, spell books, and special abilities, offering multiple strategies. The base game supports 2 - 4 players (the map can handle 5), and with expansions, it can accommodate up to 8 players.
