Cults Across America

Cults Across America puts you in charge of a band of religious fanatics who dream of conquering the United States. Each player leads a faction made up of cultists, priests, creepy creatures and other odd characters, all ready to spread madness from coast to coast. The main goal is to create an unbroken chain of fanatics across the map, but the road there is full of tricks, improbable rituals and chaotic clashes. The game offers three distinct ways to play: the Standard game, which mixes deep strategy with plenty of fun and the chance for someone to snag the "Mythos 500" out of the blue; the Strategic game, which strips away the wildest madness for players who prefer more conventional tactics; and the Bloodbath scenario, a streamlined version that can finish in about an hour, focusing on direct combat and eliminating opponents. Core mechanics are dice rolling, which decides success or failure, and point‑to‑point movement, which moves cultists across the United States board. While the weight is light (2.4/5), games can stretch up to three hours, demanding patience and a willingness to shout, drink and, of course, plot world domination. If you enjoy Lovecraftian horror themes, war‑style games with a dash of insanity, and like to swing between serious strategy and pure chaos, Cults Across America delivers all that in a package that guarantees laughs and memorable moments.
