About the game
Rev up your engine and hold on tight, because chaos is coming in full force! In Fast & Fhtagn, you aren't just participating in a standard race; you're trying to survive a bizarre and dangerous urban landscape that feels ripped straight from a cosmic nightmare. Imagine driving your vehicle through crowded streets, trying not to get crushed by other drivers who don't exactly have 'good intentions.' The goal is simple, but the execution is madness: you need to gain positions, rack up style points to shine on the track, and, most importantly, keep your vehicle running while the world crumbles around you.

The game blends cosmic horror with a sharp, absurd sense of humor that perfectly captures the Cthulhu Mythos vibe. You might encounter anything from weird items like a 'Perverse Bobblehead of Ulthar' to situations where you desperately need a 'Welder Thing' at a chop shop. The gameplay is frantic, mixing card management with the unpredictability of dice rolling. You'll have to decide whether to play aggressively to knock opponents off course or focus on keeping your vehicle intact so you don't end up as a snack for the Great Old Ones. It's a rich card game with components that bring this chaotic universe to life, perfect for those who love fast-paced, loud, and twisty competition. If you're fast enough, glory awaits; if you fail, well... let's just say you might end up being fed to something much bigger than you. It's fast, it's crazy, it's Fhtagn!
