Description

Get ready to unleash your inner Abdul Alhazred in the thrilling board game Necronomicon, designed by Alberto Cano and published in 2020. In this horror-themed card game, 2 to 4 players will compete to complete the infamous book of the dead, and the first one to do so will win. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the world of H.P. Lovecraft in no time. The game is divided into rounds, each with its own level of complexity, and the objective is to collect and manage your cards wisely to complete the various sections of the book. As you delve into the game, you'll discover that each card represents a part of a section of the book, and you'll need to collect at least 5 cards from a specific section to complete it. The game mechanics of hand management and set collection will challenge you to make strategic decisions about which cards to keep and which to discard. With only two possible moves per turn - drawing a card or performing an action by placing a card on the table - you'll need to think carefully about your next step. The card played on the table is available for the next player, adding a social element to the game as you try to outmaneuver your opponents. With playtime ranging from 20 to 60 minutes, you can choose to play a quick game or a more immersive experience. The limited edition of the game comes with amazing art and exclusive components, such as the impressive Necronomicon book case made by hand, in wood, in antique book format. As you play, you'll need to manage your sanity points, which will be affected by the cards you hold in your hand at the end of each round. Will you be the first to complete the Necronomicon and emerge victorious, or will you succumb to the madness that lurks within its pages? There's only one way to find out - gather your friends, grab some cards, and get ready to unleash the horror of Necronomicon.
