Description

In Minions of Cthulhu, you and your friends are a team of paranormal investigators working together to prevent the summoning of Great Cthulhu, a terrifying creature from the depths of madness. Published in 2011 by designer C.J. Winter, this cooperative game challenges 2 to 4 players to stop four doomsday cults from opening cosmic gateways across North America. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll dive into a world of horror and mystery, navigating the continent to expose the cults and save humanity from destruction. As you play, you'll manage your actions carefully, using a combination of travel, removal, exposure, and building to outsmart the cults. But beware - the deck is full of unspeakable horrors from the Lovecraft Mythos, and the cultists' rallying call of "Cthulhu Fhtagn!" can strike fear into your heart. With variable player powers and a mix of hand management and set collection, each game is a unique challenge. Can you and your team work together to retain your sanity and prevent the apocalypse, or will the cults succeed in unleashing a new era of terror? With a playtime of just 60 minutes, you'll be on the edge of your seat as you race against time to save the world from the clutches of Cthulhu.
