Is it worth the price? Yes. Are the miniatures intricately detailed and actually huge? Yes. Is the game fun to play? Absolutely. Everyone I have played this game with has either bought their own core game or joined the latest Kick starter to get all the extras. Each Faction plays by its own rules, so every time you play it’s like a different game. I never expected to get into a game so much or even play another board game again. This game has changed my perspective and given me a plethora of monstrosities to play with. My only regret is that I couldn’t get in on the initial Kick starter for this game and get the two Exclusive 1st player markers.

Ordinato 2 volte, ogni volta arrivato fortemente danneggiato… il gioco non la scatola esterna di imballaggio, presumo dunque sia partito già danneggiato… per 200€ di gioco, tra l’altro da collezione mi aspetto la perfezione

The box had dings all over and some of the boards inside the box we’re bent. When you spend 150 on a game plus shipping you expect a lot better.

Fantastic game. I love the miniatures and the game itself is intimidating when you first open it but has proved to be pretty simple to learn after a game or two you’ll have it fairly well in hand. The miniatures really make this game though intact all the art and components are amazing the only grips I have at all is some times the miniature pile into areas so much can be kind of difficult to keep track but that’s a very minor problem to an otherwise perfect game of tentacles teeth and insanity!

Cthulhu Wars is an awesome game! Play is easy to learn, but surprisingly complex for a board game. Each faction has its own particular powers and a strategy that works for one faction might not work for another. In addition, the miniatures are incredible. They are worth the price alone. They can be painted and used in other tabletop war games or RPGs as well. I can’t recommend this game enough!

This is an awesome, quick, well balanced asymmetrical game. Once you are familiar with the rules, and how the different factions work, it takes between 1 hour & 90 minutes. (Unless you have players that are indecisive or drunk). The two 20″ x 20″ boards each have a 3 player side and a 5 player side. Have both on the same side for that many players, or one on each for 4 players. It comes with 4 factions, and you can purchase a 5th faction (there are 3 more available: Opener of the Way, Sleeper & Windwalker) or go online to find the rules & spells for one and cobble together a 5th faction for a 5 player game. They also have alternate maps you might be able to find or a 6/8 player map that is 30″ x 30″ x 2. September 2016 they will be rereleasing everything & have even more expansions, like an 8th faction. It is my favorite game because every game is different depending on who you & the others play and the order you acquire your spells. It is well worth the price.

So much fun, even between two players. I bought this game for the figurines/collector’s value, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the game itself is super fun. Think of it like a better, quicker, way more fun version of Risk. The manual says it’s recommended for groups of 3 or more, but it also provides some minor rule modifications for 2 player games to be fun and balanced. Lots of care and play testing must have gone into this, because it’s very well polished. Lots of strategic depth to it, and the mechanics are not that complicated once you get the hang of it.

Excelente calidad de miniaturas, muy buen juego en general.
Pésima calidad de encuadernación del manual, a la segunda hojeada se ha desgarrado parte de las hojas.

Take the necesarry time to read the rules and understand them (lots of thing to learn).
But then, we had a blast with my friends. Our first game lasted for nearly 4 hours… because we were not used to the rules, after some time expect for 90 minutes per game… less if someone is playing really well and understood all the tricks…
Thumbs up for this game !
On a more trivial side, well packed and received on time. I just hope the seller of the game will have access to some extensions as they are necessary to play at 5+ players (up to 7 with the proper extensions).

Abgesehen von den faszinierend riesigen Figuren und der insgesamt guten Material-Qualität macht das Spiel viel Spaß. Der Ablauf ist spannend und man hat Lust, immer neue Strategien auszuprobieren. Die Welt von Cthulu zu kennen, ist keine Voraussetzung für das Spiel. Kinder mit Vorerfahrungen in Strategie-Spielen oder Tabletop-Rollen-Spielen können auch unter 14 schon erfolgreich mitspielen. Spieltechnisch ist eine entfernte Verwandtschaft zu dem Klassiker “Risiko” nicht zu leugnen.
Wir haben das Spiel auf Englisch gekauft, da es auf Deutsch leider vergriffen ist. Die Anleitung stellte uns vor keine Probleme. Alle Sätze sind kurz und übersichtlich formuliert und in alltagstauglichem Vokabular verfasst.
Die Dicke des Anleitungsheftes erschreckte uns zunächst, aber der SChrifttyp ist recht groß, es gibt viele Bilder, zahlreiche Erweiterungen werden schon erklärt und zu jeder Figur gibt es eine Doppelseite mit hilfreichen Tips.
