## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to summon an ancient god and bring down the world? In Creatures & Cultists, each of you leads a bizarre cult, competing to be the first to call upon your favorite god from the Lovecraftian pantheon and, of course, destroy everything. It's a straightforward card game where luck with the dice and cunning hand management are essential to sabotage rivals and hasten the apocalypse. Originally a surprise hidden in issue #4 of The Unspeakable Oath magazine, this game was designed to be cut out and assembled directly from the centerfold. It includes 128 cards and 8 play sheets to bring this chaotic contest to life. The idea is simple: accumulate cult points, use cards to hinder others, and hope the dice are on your side when summoning the Great Old One. But beware, as player elimination is a real possibility, so every move counts to avoid becoming just another sacrifice on the altar of chaos.

If you enjoy a quick game with a dash of dark humor and the Cthulhu Mythos theme, Creatures & Cultists can be a fun choice for a casual session. Don't expect deep complexity, but rather a light and chaotic experience, perfect for those who want to laugh while the world ends. It's the kind of game that shines in groups that don't mind seeing a friend eliminated early, as long as the fun (and destruction) is guaranteed.
