Cthulhu Hex Prototype



Here is a sneak peak at the first prototype for Cthulhu Hex. I'll make color prototype in July when I have access to a color laser printer.

Overview


The high priest for the secret cult Cthulthu’s Dreams approaches you with a mischievous smile. “Acolyte, I need to talk to you,” he says while putting his arm around your shoulder. “Now is the time for you to show your worth to our order and your willingness to further Cthulhu’s great will. You have been chosen to enter the Dreamlands to recruit creatures for our cause. When the stars are right, there will be a great battle and we need to make sure our forces will come out on top.”


“B … b … but … how can I do that?” you ask while hoping that the high priest doesn’t notice the large drops of sweat that have started dripping down your forehead.


“Easy, my son. You’ll convert them by force.”


Cthulhu Hex is an abstract game between two players. Each player fields a force of monster tiles to place on a hex map, trying to convert each other’s tiles by inflicting enough damage to make them “see the light.” When all the hexes are filled, the player with the majority of tiles in play wins.

Playtesters Needed


Let me know if you want to playtest this game.

Video Review #6

Marek and I take a light-heart approach to seeing how much time is saved when using the Equipment Cards to set-up the game.




This isn't really a review, but a light-hearted look at the Equipment Cards that should have come with the base game. If you play Tannhäuser, you really need to get this pack to speed up set-up and game play.

Okko Era of the Karasu review and more

Here is a link to Marek and my video review of the expansion for Okko (Era of the Karasu).

Marek and I give our opinions on how Era of the Karasu improve the tactical miniatures game, Okko, which is based on Hub's graphic novels (Okko, the Cycle of Water, the Cycle of Air, etc.)



Next we'll be going over how Equipment Cards affect Tannhäuser.

I've also received many custom-built hex tiles that I'm using to make a protype for a new game: Cthulhu Hex. I'll post a how to play video about the little abstract game soon as well.
