Cthulhu: Dark Providence offers a fresh spin on Martin Wallace's well - regarded board game A Study in Emerald. This thrilling game blends deck - building strategies, hidden agendas, and the eerie creations of H.P. Lovecraft. Players are secretly divided into two sides of the conflict. They use their influence to bid for assets, take over cities, and interact with powerful Mythos beings. While keeping their identity under wraps and evading madness, players can perform various actions. They can persuade agents to join their cause, eliminate rival agents, stop opponents from acting, and seal or safeguard gates to other dimensions to advance their goals and earn points. Even though players are on opposing sides, it's not a team - based game. Only the player with the highest score on the winning side will emerge victorious and reshape the nation's fate.
