## Description
Time to level up your cults with the High Priest expansion pack for Cthulhu Wars! This neat addition brings in the High Priest figures, a special type of cultist. Each faction gets its own High Priest, all cast from the same mold but in vibrant colors to match their Lovecraftian army. Recruited like a regular cultist for 3 power, they not only help generate more power during the gather power phase but also have the ability to create and control gates, and can be captured. The big trick? You can sacrifice your High Priest at any time (except in the middle of an action or when captured) to immediately gain 2 power. This can be a lifesaver to get you back into the game from a zero-power situation! This expansion is required to use the unique High Priests for each faction. Keep in mind that the Bubastis and Invasion factions do not have this special unit. Get ready to summon even greater horrors and dominate the board with these powerful allies!

## FAQ
### Do I need the base Cthulhu Wars game to use this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This expansion adds new units and abilities to the base game, so it's essential for playing.

### How many High Priests come in the pack?
The pack includes 7 High Priest figures, one for each of the original factions in the base game (Great Cthulhu, Crawling Chaos, Black Goat, Yellow Sign, Opener of the Way, Sleeper, Windwalker).

### Do the High Priest's abilities change between factions?
The basic abilities are the same (generating power, creating gates, sacrificing), but how you apply them can vary depending on your faction's strategy.

### Does this expansion add new playable factions?
No, it focuses on adding a special unit (the High Priest) for the existing factions in the base game. The Bubastis and Invasion factions do not get a High Priest.

### Does the game become much more complicated with this expansion?
It adds a new unit with its own rules and tactical options, which increases complexity slightly. But if you're already familiar with Cthulhu Wars, the learning curve is quite manageable.

### Is it worth it for those who play with fewer people (2 or 3)?
Yes! The High Priests add more depth and tactical options, enriching the experience even in games with fewer players.
