Carcosa โ A Lovecraftian Board Game of Cults and Madness โ English/German/Deutsch
The lost city of Carcosa awaits. Which wouldn't be much of a problem โ if every cult wasn't trying to summon the same ancient entity. ๐๐ก
Carcosa is a dark strategic tile-laying board game inspired by the cosmic horror of H. P. Lovecraft and the world of Robert W. Chambers' The King in Yellow.
Players build the strange city of Carcosa tile by tile, using their cultists to control ley lines, perform rituals, claim territory and gather occult power. Rival cults are pursuing exactly the same objective โ because naturally everyone wants to be the one responsible for summoning the King in Yellow.
The double-sided Carcosa tiles feature stable and unstable states, adding uncertainty to every decision. Something that appeared secure can suddenly change, combining area control, tile placement and strategic planning with a strong cosmic-horror atmosphere.
Ancient cults, forbidden rituals and a lost city. What could possibly go wrong? ๐๐

If Carcosa hasn't quite satisfied your appetite for ancient secrets, forbidden knowledge and the distinct feeling that some things really should have been left aloneโฆ ๐๐๐ฎ
