Description
The darkness is looming and the time has come to awaken the Old Ones. In Rise of Cthulhu, you play as the leader of a cultist faction racing against your opponent to be the first to wake up Cthulhu and other chaotic masters. The game is easy to learn and can be played in just 30 minutes, making it a great option for a quick and thrilling adventure. By playing colored and numbered Cultist Cards, you'll control key Lovecraftian locations and gain favor when the Old Ones arise. You can summon monsters, unlock eldritch secrets, and manipulate guardians to outmaneuver your opponent. With clever card play, you'll influence locations and earn points to win the game. Will you be the first to awaken the Old Ones and claim victory, or will your opponent outwit you and destroy your sanity and soul?
