H.P. Lovecraft's "Great Old Ones"
2–4 players · 20 min · 8+
Great Old Ones is a cosmic horror game inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, where players take on the role of invokers seeking to awaken the ancient gods. Amid forbidden rituals, fragile alliances, and the ever-present threat of madness, each game balances the desire for power against the abyss of crumbling sanity.
Players develop their Great Old Ones by connecting fragments of power and making choices that balance risk and reward. Every action can open new opportunities or dramatically alter the course of the game, as characters unleash unique abilities and mysterious forces. The goal is to amass power without succumbing to chaos, creating a tense and immersive experience where ambition and madness coexist.
