Cthulhu: The Great Old One – Deluxe Edition

Investigators collect and play cards based on the characters and mythology of H.P. Lovecraft’s writings. On each turn, players draw, steal, recruit, and play pairs, along with a Horror or Cultist card. Matched Pairs score 2 points, while Linked Pairs and Horror cards score 1 point. The game ends when a player completes their seventh pair. Holding the Great Old One usually causes a loss, unless that player has already played the Cultist card; otherwise, the player with the most points wins.
