About the game
What you do in a play session
Brace yourself for a desperate adventure in Cthulhu!!!: Hastur La Vista, Baby!, where you and your fellow investigators throw yourselves against ancient forces lurking from beyond. In a 1920s Kingsport, plagued by insane cultists and cosmic horrors, your mission is clear: find and sanctify enough ritual sites to prevent the arrival of a dark avatar. But beware, sanity is already a luxury item for those who brave the Cthulhu Mythos, and using unholy relics can be a double-edged sword. Each game is a new experience thanks to the modular board that forms with tile placement, making the city map a constantly evolving challenge. You'll need to manage your hand of cards wisely, confront Hastur's minions, and collect artifacts of power, all while madness tries to take hold. It's a game that blends exploration, horror, and a bit of luck with dice rolls, ideal for those who enjoy a thematic challenge with a touch of chaos.
