Cthulhu Wars

I tried Cthulhu Wars for the first time last night.  A friend of mine (The Other One) backed the kickstarter and duly received a humongous box of stuff.

The game looks good and plays well, though we were a little shaky to begin with.
The Yellow Sign and The Crawling Chaos

The Black Goat of the Woods

Mighty Cthulhu 

The aim of the game is to dominate the earth with your Great Old One, which you achieve by amassing power to build gates and summoning monsters.

The two player game has four factions on the board, and I suspect it would flow easier, and be more competitive, to have more players, with one person per faction.

Still, a good game, and one  that will probably be great fun once we have the rules fully learnt and more players to join in.  The pieces are great; well designed and cast, and probably have many other uses outside the game.  Now if only I could get a separate faction of my own.....
