Description

Get ready to dive back into the world of Cthulhu Wars with the Library at Celaeno Map expansion, designed by the legendary Sandy Petersen. Released in 2017, this expansion is perfect for 2 to 5 players who are looking to shake things up in their games. With a playtime of around 90 minutes, you'll need to be prepared to dedicate some time to mastering the new mechanics and strategies that this expansion introduces. The game rules can be a bit complicated, but trust us, it's worth the effort to learn. The Library at Celaeno Map takes you inside a cyclopean alien facility in the Hyades, a location that's steeped in Lovecraft lore. This new map introduces two terrifying figures: the Librarian and the Custodian. The first player to build a Gate on this map can seize amazing new powers in the form of extra spellbooks, but beware - if you lose control of your Special Collection, the Librarian will come after you. The Custodian is just as ominous, cleaning up chambers by moving units to the Oubliette, where fights can break out. The Librarian can only be activated if a player has an overdue Book, and it can wreak havoc on the game. Luckily, you can mitigate the damage by returning the Book, but you'll need to be careful not to let things get out of hand. The Library at Celaeno expansion introduces a new mechanism to Cthulhu Wars: Silence tokens. These tokens allow you to trigger special actions, including moving the Custodian and Librarian, and triggering the special Library books on this map. With the combination of Action Points, Area Movement, Dice Rolling, and Variable Player Powers, this expansion adds a whole new layer of depth to the game. As an expansion for the base game Cthulhu Wars, the Library at Celaeno Map is a must-have for fans of the series, and its unique blend of horror and miniatures gameplay makes it a standout in the world of board games.
