Ever played a social deduction classic like Among Us? Well, get ready, because Among Cultists brings that exact adrenaline to your tabletop in a super engaging way! The atmosphere is pure suspense within the halls of Miskatonic University. You and your friends will play as investigators trying to prevent a colossal cosmic horror from entering our world, but there's a catch: not everyone in the group is on the side of good. Yes, there are cultists among you, working secretly to sabotage everything and ensure evil prevails.
The game unfolds over 10 intense rounds. On one side, the investigators must race against the clock to accumulate victory points or, if things get messy, use voting to cast out the traitors from the academy. On the other side, the cultists play dirty, using actions and events to sabotage the investigation or strategically eliminate their peers. With board movement and encounters that can shift the game's momentum, every move is a gamble. Will you trust your friend who just claimed to see something strange in the lab, or are they just another cultist trying to lead you astray? It's a game of bluffing, deduction, and high tension, perfect for those who love a good mystery and don't mind being called a traitor during dinner!
