The World of Cults Across America

Dominate the United States…in the name of the Elder Gods! Cults Across America is a Cthulhu Mythos themed board game in which you play a group of religious fanatics looking to convert the country to Lovecraftian worship.

It's one of the least serious world domination games out there. Have a good time! Be a little strategic or let loose in a rampage of frothing, foaming, and destruction with a bonus side of tentacles.

Gameplay Basics

Cults Across America gives you three play options. A standard game takes about two hours. This option balances strategy and randomness. Your best laid strategies might win you the game, or you might be undone when your opponent pulls off a miraculous Mythos 500 win at the last minute.

A strategic game plays similar to the standard game, but removes some of the weird random elements. Sane strategies will get you the win here. Although we think sanity is overrated.

A bloodbath scenario cuts the rules down to remove the fiddly details and lets you get on with the fun: stomping the hell out of anything that isn't on your side. It takes about an hour to play.
