    1:05:47 he said he failed to desecrate Australia but he had a spell book which made desecration 1 cheaper so he actually shoulda succeeded and got an elder sign (he also forgot the elder sign a few minutes later when he did it again)
    Also every single time he desecrated he was forgetting to add more units to the board which arrive whether successful or not.

    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. Oh, and you forgot to link the tutorial in the description below." -HP Lovecraft

    Thank you for making this show and the how to play show. I too have been playing Call of Cthulhu since the 80s and it was my love of that game that I backed the first Cthulhu Wars kickstarter. However I found the game really intimidating because of the a-symetrical system and so it has sat on top of my bookshelf for years. That was until I saw you guys playing it this week and I felt confident to give it a go with my brothers. We played it today and had a fun afternoon of summoning and scheming and eventual battles because who doesn't want to command Cthulhu to duff up the other gods? Thank you for being such good enablers.

    All the references and all the talk around the table were very funny. Congratulation it was a pleasure to follow your game and the post prod (camera switch, quality audio and all the stuff) was TOP!
    Sadly one big thing was forgotten by the Yellow Sign player : After EVERY desecration, whatever it fails or succeed, he could have summoned a byakee or undead for free in the area!!! And he desecrated a LOT ;). Imagine how many monsters he would have at the end of the game and this change drastically the game for his benefits.
    Anyway, I didn't know you all and your channel but a great discovery! Keeps going!

      Yeah, when Yellow Sign is in the game the other factions must agree to help beat him up. The way I describe it to people is that Yellow Sign is like playing Cthulhu Wars Pandemic, where one player gets to be the virus.

The King in Yellow will usually be able to run away from invading armies like Cthulhu or Nyarlathotep's before those factions unlock unlimited battle in the late game. By then a good Yellow Sign player will have amassed many Elder Signs and a decent zombie army to defend the King. It usually takes a few attacks to take him out.

    Wait Cthulu a God? I always thought he was an Eldritch Priest for the Great Ones. Like assume the Eldtrich Mythos is just like any ordinary religion: there is commonly a place to worship, a leader of the worship, and a Higher Being that is praised at that place of worship.
    I always justified it that the place of worship was a sunken city, similar to Atlantis but more twisted. The Higher Being is one of the Great Ones, like Hastor, but Cthulu was always the leader of the worship, the easier term I could up with is "Priest."

    Didn't they make some mistakes in the game? For example: Yellow Sign moved the King In Yellow in one turn and just desecrated in the same turn. But desecration is an action and he has to wait for his NEXT turn to desecrate an area.
    Or did he use the speelbook "The Screaming Dead"? It's hard to keep track what spellbooks are taken by whom.

      I think the game is deceptively strategic and interesting. The more you learn each faction and it's strengths it becomes more of a game of chess. Multiple opening moves, multiple spell book strategies you can aim for and playstyles for each faction. Then there are 11 factions total you could jump between, not to mention the different map variants and neutral monsters. But yeah, it's certainly not for everyone. I have friends who won't touch it because they hate extreme asymmetry like this.

    Joseph should have gotten a free Cultist or any of his monsters (2 cost or less) out each time he desecrated a region. It is nice seeing he still won even though he severely nerfed his own faction.

    Hm. Games like this that track points and then end when you hit a certain point value always seem so anticlimactic to me; I would much rather have a more meaningful goal as the ending condition.

      @@Bokosuka-yl7eq How it's implemented is important. I typically find it unsatisfying if the way you're achieving the goal has been so abstracted that it's happening through a slow accumulation of equivalent things (points, money, grains, whatever). There's nothing special or unique about those last points that put you over the edge versus the first ones that you earned. Why do you win at 100 points, for example? The game designers could have just as easily said you win at 98, or 103, or 57, or whatever. The whole game is just one long slog to an arbitrary number.

    Guys, you could just pronounce it “Shub-ni-goo-rath.” It’s a fictional word that humans probably shouldn’t be able to pronounce correctly anyway. That would be better than completely refraining from saying “Shub-Niggurath” at all during a Cthulhu game for a dumb reason
