About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to summon the Great Old One in Adoradores de Cthulhu, a souped-up twist on classic Werewolf/Mafia games, perfect for parties and large gatherings! Supporting 6 to 18 players, this game plunges you into a city where chaos reigns and madness lurks. One player takes on the role of the Guardian, the master of ceremonies who orchestrates the narrative and events. The remaining players are secretly divided between loyal citizens and cultists devoted to Cthulhu. The cultists' mission is nefarious: eliminate citizens one by one, without raising suspicion, so that Cthulhu can awaken and dominate the world. Meanwhile, the citizens, to save humanity, must identify and banish all cultists before it's too late. Each round is split into a night phase, where cultists act in the shadows, and a day phase, where everyone gathers to debate, accuse, and vote on who they believe is the infiltrated enemy. With variable player powers, the tension escalates, and twists are guaranteed. It's a fast-paced game full of bluffing, deduction, and, of course, the possibility of player elimination, making every match electrifying. If you enjoy social games that spark heated discussions and laughter, Adoradores de Cthulhu is the right choice to liven up any get-together!
