About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already enjoying the madness of Cthulhu: Death May Die, Season 2 arrives to crank up the chaos and adrenaline. This expansion isn't just a small 'extra pack' but a massive content upgrade that drastically expands the gameplay possibilities. Imagine new investigators with unique abilities, each bringing a different dynamic to the table, and six brand new episodes that challenge the group's sanity with fresh rules and surprising elements.

What really shines here is the variety. You'll have to face hordes of monsters in terrifying shapes and sizes, requiring coordinated strategies to avoid being annihilated. The box delivers an arsenal of components: 10 new investigator miniatures, 17 monster miniatures (because you can never have too many!), character dashboards, new game tiles, and specific boxes for each episode, organizing Discovery and Mythos cards.

It's the perfect choice for those who feel they've mastered the initial scenarios and want to test their limits against even more bizarre threats. The 'B-movie horror' vibe remains strong, blending the despair of facing ancient gods with the fun of rolling dice and hoping luck is on your side. Gather your group, organize your sheets, and try to survive another season of cosmic horror, remembering that cooperation is the only way out to avoid becoming monster food.
