Cthulhu's Vault

Cthulhu's Vault is a board game for 3–6 players. It plays in 45 minutes and is meant for ages 10 and up. Ludoya players call it best with 6.

Players collaboratively tell the story of investigators confronting a Great Old One, using cards that represent details, events, and objects to add to the narrative. When a player connects multiple cards, they gain a bonus for the climactic confrontation, while matching cards can let another player take over the story and introduce an unexpected turn. The ending is not fixed: the group may defeat the monster, or a hidden cultist may help bring about its ascension. The final conflict is resolved through storytelling as the investigators and the Great Old One face each other.
