Each player takes the part of one of four factions incuded in the base game. At the start of a turn, players Gather Power, then, during a series of Action Rounds, they spend this Power to accomplish various tasks, such as moving units, engaging in battle, summoning monsters, building Gates, casting spells, and Awakening their Great Old One. When all players run out of Power, the Action phase ends and the next turn begins. Victory is determined by accumulating points on the Doom Track. The first player to 30 is the lone victor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriving the strategy are a player's wish to expand his power base, and his need to accomplish six tasks to acquire his faction's spellbooks. Each faction has a unique set of monsters, spellbooks, and special abilities, and has different requirements to acquire its spellbooks. All factions have multiple strategies open to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base game supports 2-4 players, but with new factions and maps released as expansions it can support up to 7 players.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Petersen Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1070203621,"sku":"HPSPETCTHU01","price":124.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/CthulhuWars.png?v=1578608991","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/cthulhu-wars","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
