Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.57. This is a thrilling board game for 1 to 4 players, published in 2017 by Greater Than Games. It's the Kickstarter Edition of Fate of the Elder Gods, including the core game, all stretch goals, the Beasts from Beyond Game Expansion, and the Azathoth Elder God Promo. Note: paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. The game comes with a rich set of components like a 24 - page full - color rulebook, a special cut 'Fate Clock' gameboard, and various cards, miniatures, and dice. In the game, players become cults aiming to summon ancient evil and bring about the fall of mankind. Use spell cards to navigate Arkham or ready spells. Travel to locations on the Fate Clock to activate powerful abilities, but beware of investigators. If a cult raises its Summon Track to 9 before the investigators save humanity, their Elder God awakens and they 'win'. We're happy to back campaigns, and a large part of your purchase here at TheGameSteward will support new Kickstarter games. Contact us for any purchase questions or game advice.
How to use: First, read the 24 - page full - color rulebook to understand the basic rules. Set up the gameboard and all the components as described. Each player chooses a cult and starts the game. Use the spell cards to move around Arkham on the Fate Clock board or to ready spells. When you reach a location, activate its abilities. Try to gain control of locations by sending more cultists. Keep an eye on the Summon Track and work towards reaching 9. Be careful not to attract too many investigators. If they place too many Elder Signs, it's game over. Maintenance advice: Keep the cards in a card protector to prevent wear and tear. Store the miniatures in a safe place to avoid damage. Put the dice in a small container to keep them organized. Note: This is a Kickstarter Edition, and paid add - ons from the campaign are not included unless stated. If you have any questions during the game, don't hesitate to contact The Game Steward.
