Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter are not included unless stated otherwise. Players: 2 to 4. Published in 2018. Cthulhu Wars is an exciting strategy board game where you become alien races and gods from H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. It 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 factions in the base game. At the start of a turn, gather power. Then, in action rounds, spend this power to recruit cultists, move units, fight battles, summon monsters, build gates, cast spells, and awaken your Great Old One. When players run out of power, the action phase ends, and a new turn begins. Victory is achieved by reaching 30 points on the Doom Track, but only if you've unlocked all six spell books. Each faction has unique monsters, spell books, and special abilities, with different requirements to get the spell books, offering multiple strategies. The base game supports 2 - 4 players (the map supports 5), and with expansions, it can support up to 8 players. Buy this Cthulhu Wars 6 - 8 Player Earth Map online at TheGameSteward.

Using the Cthulhu Wars board game is a blast! First, each player picks one of the four factions in the base game. At the start of your 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, and fighting battles. You can also summon cool monsters, build gates, cast spells, and wake up your Great Old One. The game ends when someone reaches 30 points on the Doom Track, but they have to unlock all six spell books first. Here are some things to note. Remember, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter campaign aren't included unless it's said. Also, the base game is for 2 - 4 players, but the map can handle 5, and with expansions, you can have up to 8 players. For maintenance, keep the figurines safe from rough handling as they range in size from 20 mm to 180 mm. Store the game in a dry place to avoid damage to the map and tokens.
