Check out these new “Cthulhu” themed games from Entertainment Earth.
Have you ever lamented that weve lived in a world where, up until now, you couldnt combine your capitalistic impulses with your worship of the High Priest of the Great Old Ones, Cthulhu? Well, despair no more (or, depending on how highly in regard you hold H.P. Lovecraft, despair all you wish)
Courtesy of Entertainment Earth, Lovecrafts most famous creature creation, Cthulhu, has spawned its very own collectors edition of Monopoly. Heres the breakdown from Entertainment Earths site:
Set foot for Miskatonic University, and battle it out with other Cthulhu occultists to find out who truly is the Great Old One among you. This Cthulhu Collector’s Edition Monopoly Game features fun Cthulhu and H.P. Lovecraftian style imagery, plus game tokens straight from the Cthulhu mythos! The winner of Cthulhu Monopoly shall be deemed most like the Great Old One and the most fit to inherit his mantle. Whether you win or not, you lose and become one of Cthulhu’s mindless zombies. Hooray! For ages 8 and up. 2 to 6 players.
Also available is a fan-friendly Cthulu Yahtzee, teased by the company as follows:
As you might know, Yahtzee is a classic game of tossing dice to gain winning combinations, kind of like poker, but using dice instead of cards. Add Cthulhu to the game, however, and your very soul is at stake! That’s right, in Cthulhu’s world, the winner gets to keep the loser’s soul. Fun, huh? This Cthulhu Collector’s Edition Yahtzee Game boasts an intricately crafted dice cup featuring the Great Old One, as well as awesome Cthulhu-themed green-and-black dice. Try your luck with Cthulhu, and do your best not to lose or else! Cthulhu Yahtzee is a must for fans of the occult and H.P. Lovecraft. For ages 8 and up. 1 or more players.
At $39.99 for Cthulhu Monopoly and $29.99 for Cthulhu Yahtzee, horror, gaming, and Lovecraft fans alike can now join at the same table and roll their dice in tribute to the The Great Dreamer and Sleeper of Rlyeh. Both games will crawl their way out of the South Pacific December 2015, but while they hibernate, you can pre-order them HERE.
