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.
