Unspeakable Words: "Unspeakable Letter" Promo Card 2014

About the Game

Decode the ancient secrets of R'lyeh by forming words with the letters you find in this sanity-sapping letter game. The more angles that appear in the words, the greater their mystical value, but beware! For each word that is created, you must roll a sanity check against its value to see if the word's power drives you mad!

Cthulhu Mythos themed.
