“Of his final death or disappearance (738 A.D.) many terrible and conflicting things are told. He is said by Ebn Khallikan (12th cent. biographer) to have been seized by an invisible monster in broad daylight and devoured horribly before a large number of fright-frozen witnesses. Of his madness many things are told.”
The portals have opened. The Ancient Ones begin to stir from their eons of slumber. Draft play has arrived to Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game!
The time has come for daring investigators to blow the dust off the world’s darkest and most forbidding tomes in order to explore their maddening mysteries more deeply than ever! With Necronomicon Draft Starters and Draft Packs, you and your friends can enjoy the exciting and unique challenges of Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game Draft Play, a new, alternate play format now available for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game.
Draft play is like a parallel universe, close to the world of standard Call of Cthulhu game play, but separated by a thin veil. When you enter its reality, though, Call of Cthulhu Draft Play introduces a unique set of challenges, forcing you to build a deck from cards that you select one at a time from a limited number, without full knowledge of the available card pool. Accordingly, you’ll develop strategies for how to select your cards and build your deck. Furthermore, you’ll stretch and adapt to the format’s challenges as you and your friends test your mettle against each other with draft-built decks.
At the dark heart of this alternative format are randomized Necronomicon Draft Packs. Compiled according to a custom algorithm, and drawn from a pool of 240 pre-selected Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game cards, each Draft Pack introduces a unique combination of 50 draft cards. The Necronomicon Draft Starter features 10 stories and seven fixed neutral cards that serve as the foundations for your Necronomicon draft decks. The starter also contains rules for draft play and two story cards unique to the Necronomicon draft format.
