Board Game Geek Rating: 7.18. Average Player Rating: 8.06. For 2 to 5 players, published in 2020. This is the retail edition of the Cthulhu Wars 6 - 8 Player Dreamlands Map [CW - M7] board game supplement by Petersen Games. It features a 6 - 8 player version of the Dreamlands Map, with a 6 - player map on one side and a 6 - 8 player map on the other. You need the standard Dreamlands Map Expansion to play. Cthulhu Wars is an exciting strategy board game. Players become alien races and gods from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. The game 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 is set on an Earth map. In each turn, players first gather power. Then, in action rounds, they use this power for tasks like recruiting cultists, moving units, battling, summoning monsters, building gates, casting spells, and awakening their Great Old One. When players run out of power, the action phase ends, and a new turn starts. Victory is based on points on the Doom Track. The first to 30 wins if they've unlocked all six spell books. Each faction has unique monsters, spell books, and special abilities, with different requirements to get the spell books. The base game supports 2 - 4 players (the map supports 5), and with expansions, it can handle up to 8 players. We're excited to offer Cthulhu Wars: 6 - 8 Player Dreamlands Map for online purchase at TheGameSteward. A large part of your spending will go towards backing new games on Kickstarter.
