Thematically more up my alley than regular Pandemic. Seems easier to beat, though I have lost. Good game...always has been and the monster theme is a fix for me. (2017-12-07) Sold. Replaced with Horrified, which is a little more interesting mechanically and thematically more fun. (2019-12-28)

Pandemic variant with Cthulhu theme where players play investigators and try to fight cultists and seal all 4 gates before Cthulhu awakens. The main difference is that players can get insane resolved by die rolls. + Great artwork + Thematic (Cthulhu, seal portals and shut down cults) + Components (minis, custom dice) + Only 4 types of clue cards relating to one of each town + 12 'Old Ones' cards and 6 of them are used in each game (variability) + 7 Characters with special abilities + Well written rules + Player aids # Die rolls used for insanity checks can create tension, uncertainty, but also swingyness - Deterministic Pandemic fans may not love the die rolls for insanity checks Comparison to regular Pandemic: # Altered board with only 24 locations, no quick "teleportation" movement # Nearly the same loosing conditions # Players can remove a cultist from a location with one action and defeat a Shoggoth with 3 actions # Sealing a gate takes still takes 5 cards to Seal a Gate # No outbreak track from regular Pandemic is replaced by 'Old Ones' track Similar games: * Pandemic: Fall of Rome (fight against Barbarians, dice combat) * Defenders of the Realm (castle defend, dice rolling, combat) * The Captain Is Dead (cooperative, Sci-Fi game, similar gameplay, thematic, all about planning ahead and activating stations for certain effects) * Horrified (cooperative horror game with a Pandemic-like action point system and colored cards needed to fight unique monsters)

Dobra przeróbka klasycznej pandemii z ciekawymi mechanikami urozmaicającymi grę klimatycznymi smaczkami wprost z prozy Lovecrafta. Warto docenić jakościowe wykonanie zarówno planszy, kart jak i figurek. Udany zakup, polecam
