About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Tired of leaving friends out of your epic Cthulhu Wars session? Your problems are solved! This double-sided map was made for those who want to expand the battlefield and invite more people to the cosmic madness. With it, you can play with 6, 7, or even 8 players, turning a regular game into a true event. The concept is very similar to the standard map: one side is for 6 players and the other for 8. Want to play with 7? No mystery! Just flip half the map face-up and the other face-down, and you get two different configurations for that player count. The fun is guaranteed, but pay attention: the base game already requires a good understanding of the language, and with more people at the table, the need to understand everything in English (or have translations handy) becomes even greater. So, prepare your grimoires, gather your cultists, and dive headfirst into this Lovecraftian nightmare as a group. It's the perfect expansion for those who already love Cthulhu Wars and want more chaos, more monsters, and more friends suffering together. The production is top-notch, as always, with miniatures that are a show in themselves. Get ready for hours of conflict and cosmic terror!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Cthulhu Wars game to use this map?
Absolutely! This is an expansion map, so you need to own the base Cthulhu Wars game to be able to use it.
How many players does this map support?
This map is specifically designed for games with 6, 7, or 8 players. It expands the maximum player count of the base game.
Is the map different from the standard Cthulhu Wars map?
Yes, it's an additional map with configurations for more players. One side is for 6 players and the other for 8. By flipping halves, you can achieve configurations for 7 players.
Does the game's complexity increase with more players?
The rule complexity doesn't change, but the game's dynamics and playtime tend to increase significantly with more participants.
Is the game heavily language-dependent?
Yes, Cthulhu Wars is known for having a lot of text on its cards and components. Playing with more people, especially if not everyone is fluent in English, might require translations or a good glossary.
Is it worth it for those who play with only a few friends?
If you usually play with 5 or fewer people, this map won't be as useful. It's ideal for those who want to play with larger groups and already master the base game.
Is the material quality good?
Yes, the production quality of Cthulhu Wars is generally very high, and this map follows the standard with good materials.
