Description

Cthulhu's Vault is a thrilling adventure card game for 3 to 6 players that combines storytelling, hand management, and variable player powers to create a unique experience. Players work together to tell the story of the monster's defeat, but with a twist - the ending is not set, and unexpected turns of events can occur. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, players can dive right into the game, which typically lasts around 45 minutes. As players take turns telling their story, they play cards from their hand, trying to link multiple cards together to receive bonuses. If another player has a card matching what's mentioned, they can take over the story, adding their own twist. The goal is to create a compelling narrative that culminates in a climactic fight between investigators and the Great Old One, all told in story format.
