Don't wake up Cthulhu!
Players are rival cultists racing to avoid being the one who awakens an ancient cosmic horror. Each turn a player draws and may play any number of cards that summon creatures, cast effects, or manipulate the deck and hand sizes. If a player draws the awakening card they must resolve it immediately; players use pass-the-bad-card, card interactions, and deck manipulation to force the awakening onto someone else or bury it back in the deck. The game ends when the awakening resolves on a player, eliminating them and usually dooming everyone, so play centers on bluffing, timing, and tactical use of disruptive abilities.
