About the Game

Who will make the irretrievable mistake? The stars are in alignment and great Cthulhu is finally ready to wake! Your cult has been working on it for centuries, but on second thought… is this really such a good idea? Conjure up all the nefarious entities of the Cthulhu mythos and be clever in how you use their effects, so you’re not the one who dooms us all! Honestly, your rivals would make much better appetizers for the Great Old One!

Gameplay :

You start the game with 5 cards. During your turn, you must draw a card and you can play as many cards as you want. If you draw a Cthulhu card, you must play it immediately, and if you can’t pass it to another player or get it back into the deck, you lose the game (and Cthulhu destroys the earth, so basically everybody loses, but you die first, so there is that)! Basically, do everything you can to avoid being the one who summons great Chtulhu!
