Cthulhu: I smrt může zemřít - Shub-Niggurath - Černá koza z lesů

Product detailed description

Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat of the Woods, joins Cthulhu: Death May Die as a new Elder One. This expansion allows investigators to face a different supernatural threat in any Episode of the game. Rather than introducing a separate scenario, it changes the opposition through new Elder One abilities, Mythos cards, and terrifying servants known as Dark Young. Shub-Niggurath can summon these creatures to overwhelm investigators, while her Mythos cards grant them additional abilities and bonuses. The expansion includes seven miniatures and a set of cards for introducing the Black Goat of the Woods into your games.

What the expansion offers

A new Elder One – Shub-Niggurath

The Black Goat of the Woods becomes an additional Elder One that players can select when setting up a game. Her unique stage cards introduce new challenges and change how the final confrontation unfolds.

Six Dark Young miniatures

Shub-Niggurath commands terrifying servants known as Dark Young. These creatures can gain different abilities and bonuses through the expansion's Mythos cards, making them increasingly dangerous to investigators.

New combinations for existing Episodes

Shub-Niggurath can be combined with any Episode of Cthulhu: Death May Die. Players can revisit familiar scenarios while facing a different Elder One and a new set of threats.

Gameplay and features

During setup, players select Shub-Niggurath as the Elder One and combine her components with their chosen Episode.

The core gameplay remains unchanged. Investigators work together to fight monsters, disrupt the summoning ritual, and ultimately defeat the Elder One. However, the new Mythos and Elder One cards change enemy behavior and create different tactical challenges.

This expansion is also compatible with Cthulhu: Death May Die – Fear of the Unknown, which is a standalone core game.

Box contents

• 1 Black Goat of the Woods miniature
