This is an upgrade kit for owners of the First Edition of Cthulhu Wars Board Game by Petersen Games. It comes with upgraded components like the Ritual Annihilation Track, Doom Track, and faction markers. Cthulhu Wars is an exciting strategy board - game set in the Cthulhu mythos by H. P. Lovecraft. It's physically large and features 64 figurines of cultists, monsters, aliens, and Great Old Ones, ranging from about 20 mm to nearly 180 mm. The game unfolds on an Earth map. Players take on one of four factions in the base game. At each turn's start, gather power and then use it in action rounds for tasks like recruiting cultists, moving units, and more. Victory depends on getting points on the Doom Track and unlocking all six spell books. The base game supports 2 - 4 players (map for 5), and with expansions, it can support up to 8.

How to use: First, if you own the First Edition of Cthulhu Wars Board Game, you can use this upgrade kit to replace the old components with the new ones it includes. When starting the game, each player chooses a faction. At the start of your turn, gather power. Then, in the action rounds, use that power to do things like recruit cultists, move your units around the Earth - themed map, engage in battles, and so on. Keep an eye on the Doom Track and work towards unlocking all six spell books to win. Note: Make sure to read all the rules carefully before starting the game. Different factions have different requirements to get their spell books, so understand your faction's unique features. Maintenance: Store the game and its components in a dry place to avoid damage. When not in use, keep the figurines in a safe container to prevent them from getting chipped or broken.
