Using the Cthulhu Wars: Nodens board game is easy. First, choose your faction from the four available in the base game. At the start of each turn, gather power. Then, during the action rounds, spend your power on various tasks such as recruiting cultists, moving your units around the Earth - themed map, engaging in battles, summoning monsters, building gates, casting spells, and awakening your Great Old One. To win, you need to reach 30 points on the Doom Track and unlock all six spell books. Remember, each faction has its own unique set of monsters, spell books, and special abilities, so plan your strategies accordingly. When handling the game, be careful with the figurines as they range in size from 20 mm to nearly 180 mm. Keep them in a safe place when not in use to avoid damage. Also, since the paid add - ons from the Kickstarter campaign are usually not included, don't expect them to come with the game unless stated otherwise. If you want to expand your gaming experience, look into the available expansions which can increase the number of players up to 8.
