About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a night of paranoia and dark whispers with 'Do You Worship Cthulhu?', a terrifying twist on the classic social deduction game, now steeped in cosmic horror. Imagine a peaceful village where normalcy is just a facade. Beneath this surface, secret cultists plot under the aegis of Cthulhu, planning to sacrifice innocents one by one. Your goal? Identify these insidious worshippers before it's too late, or, if you're one of them, eliminate all villagers without being discovered!

With rules you can learn in under three minutes, this game is perfect for livening up any party with 5 to 30 players. One person takes on the role of moderator, guiding the village through day and night phases. During the day, everyone discusses, accuses, and votes to eliminate who they think is a cultist. At night, the Cthulhu worshippers act in the shadows, choosing their next victims. Tension escalates with each round, with bluffing, accusations, and temporary alliances being the norm.

To add an extra layer of chaos and strategy, optional cards introduce special roles like the Protector, who can defend someone, or the Seer, who tries to uncover the truth. Ron Spencer's original artwork, with its dark and disturbing paintings, brings this horror setting to life, making the experience even more immersive. If you enjoy games that provoke nervous laughter and heated debates, 'Do You Worship Cthulhu?' is the perfect choice for your next gathering!
