If you are looking for a great cooperative game set in an awesome universe, Cthulhu: Death May Die is the game for you! Set in the Lovecraft universe, you work as a team to take down the Elder gods in different scenarios. The game is so smooth and it has been so much fun for me and my family.                                                                                     - Will (Marketing Manager) THE RITUAL CANNOT BE STOPPED, BUT THE CULTISTS’ PLANS MIGHT STILL BE The cultists have been painstakingly preparing for this moment for quite some time. An Elder God, a being adrift in a different dimension, has reached out into their minds, giving them the knowledge necessary to awaken it, and bring it into our own world, unleashing its hellish powers on the unsuspecting populace. The Investigators found out about it too late. The final ritual has begun. But with a little luck, the god might just be vulnerable for a moment after being summoned. That’s when they can shoot it in the face. Cthulhu: Death May Die puts players in charge of Investigators looking to defeat an Elder God that is being summoned to Earth. They are running late, as the summoning ritual is already underway. But if they can collect enough clues to find a weakness, or alter the ritual just enough to cause one, they can blast the god to death before it gets a true foothold in the world. Working together, players will fight cultists, search for answers, and try to keep their already-broken minds from warping even further.

Rising Sun is, in my opinion, the perfect area control strategy board game! I love that alliances are built into the rules of the game and that it includes so many creatures and monsters from Japanese folklore/mythology.                                                                                     - Will (Marketing Manager) Warring clans struggle for control of provinces in Feudal Japan; however, a conflict is not only won on the battlefield. Diplomacy and alliances will play a large part in winning the war.

You will engage in combat, make offerings to the Gods, and form and break treaties. After three hard fought seasons have passed, only the one who earned the most victory points will win.
