Every 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. At TheGameSteward, we're thrilled to offer this game. A large portion of your purchase will go towards backing new and amazing games on Kickstarter. If you have any questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
How to use: First, set up the Earth - themed map. Each player picks a faction from the four available in the base game. At the start of your turn, gather power. Then, during action rounds, use this power to do things like recruiting cultists, moving your units around the map, engaging in battles, summoning monsters, building gates, casting spells, and awakening your Great Old One. The action phase ends when everyone runs out of power, and a new turn starts. Try to get 30 points on the Doom Track and unlock all six spell books to win. Things to note: This is a Kickstarter exclusive set. Unless stated otherwise, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included. Each faction has different requirements to get their spell books, so plan your strategy carefully. Maintenance tips: Keep the figurines in a dry and cool place to prevent any damage to the glow - in - the - dark feature. When not in use, store the game components in the box to avoid losing any pieces.
