Co-designed by Richard Launius (Arkham Horror) and Jim Dietz (The Cthulhu Rainy-Day Activity Book), Cthulhu's Vault is a storytelling card game inspired by Lovecraft's horror writing of the 1920s and 1930s. Collaborative in nature, players work to tell the story of the Great Old One's defeat, but unlike many storytelling games, the ending is not set. Within the storytelling are mechanisms for unexpected turns of events...
Players begin with a hand of cards, each an element to work into the story being weaved. As they tell their story, they play a card, and if they can link multiple cards from their hand together, they receive a bonus usable later in the defeat of the Great Old One (or his ascension if the player turns out to be a cultist). If something is noted and another player has a card matching what is mentioned, he takes over the story and uses his cards at that point.
