Players take on the roles of alien races and gods. The game is large - scale, 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 - themed map. Each player represents one of four base - game factions. At the start of a turn, players gather power. Then, in action rounds, they spend power on tasks like recruiting cultists, moving units, battling, summoning monsters, building gates, casting spells, and awakening their Great Old One. When power runs out, the action phase ends and the next turn begins. Victory is achieved by getting 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, and different requirements to get spell books, offering multiple strategies. With expansions, it can support up to 8 players.
