About the game
Get ready to add a new and intriguing personality to your Cthulhu: Death May Die sessions with Investigator Scarlett Hayes! This exclusive figure, which comes with her own investigator dashboard, was a special item for Kickstarter campaign backers who purchased the Season 2 Expansion. Scarlett Hayes brings unique abilities and characteristics that promise to shake up your investigations and offer new strategic approaches to facing cosmic horrors.

As an addition to the base game, she fits perfectly into the cooperative mechanics of Cthulhu: Death May Die, where each player takes on the role of an investigator with variable powers, working as a team to thwart the plans of the Ancients and prevent the end of the world. Scarlett's inclusion not only expands the variety of available characters but also enriches replayability, allowing for different combinations of abilities and synergies among investigators.

It's important to note that, as a Kickstarter exclusive item, its availability may be limited, making it a coveted piece for collectors and fans who want to have the complete Cthulhu: Death May Die experience. While the main game has moderate language dependence, Scarlett Hayes's sheet might require a small translation consultation for those not fluent in English, ensuring you fully enjoy her peculiarities and talents in the fight against the Mythos.
