Cthulhu Wars: The Sleeper Expansion

The Sleeper expansion introduces the Entropy God Tsathoggua into the chaos of Cthulhu Wars, turning laziness into a strategic advantage. The new army can force rival factions to make sacrifices, capture enemy monsters, and even parasitize other factions' special abilities with the dreaded Snake‑Men, who teleport straight onto an opponent's Faction Card. New features include monsters that appear on the board for free, burrowing up from underground, and the Formless Spawn—a monster whose combat strength scales with the number of copies in play (four Spawns each have Combat 4, a potentially game‑changing force). The Sleeper also wields powers such as Cursed Slumber, Lethargy, Death from Below, and Burrow, allowing it to do a lot with very few action points, making it the most power‑efficient faction. While it doesn’t win more often than other factions, its unique mechanics and ability to manipulate opponents make it wildly fun and a fan favorite. The expansion retains the base game's high‑quality components: detailed miniatures, an area‑based board, and sturdy faction cards. It requires the Cthulhu Wars core set and supports 2‑5 players, with games lasting roughly 90 minutes. If you enjoy area control, resource management, and a dash of Lovecraftian horror, The Sleeper is a worthwhile upgrade.
