This cooperative board game blends the mechanics of Pandemic with the cosmic horror themes of H.P. Lovecraft. Players take on the roles of investigators working together to seal interdimensional gates and prevent the rise of Cthulhu. The game includes custom plastic miniatures representing investigators, cultists, and shoggoths. Players must manage their sanity while gathering clues and facing supernatural threats. Twelve distinct Old Ones appear in the game, each with unique abilities that require strategic adaptation. The core gameplay retains Pandemic's cooperative structure while introducing new horror-themed challenges and mechanics.
Things to Keep in MindSome players found the game's rules to be overly complicated or difficult to learn, leading to a perceived lack of sustained excitement or repetitive gameplay, especially when compared to the original Pandemic. There were also occasional reports of missing components or the game being in a different language than advertised. Why You'll Like ItPlayers frequently praise the game for its immersive Cthulhu theme and the high quality of its components. Many enjoy the cooperative gameplay experience, finding it becomes accessible after an initial learning period, with some even preferring its streamlined rules over the original Pandemic.
