Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game review

Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game is a fun and engaging game that immerses you in the weird and wonderful world of H.P. Lovecraft. The game is quick and easy to learn, with a high level of player interaction and strategy. Each faction has a distinct feel, and there are a wide variety of deck combinations to explore, making for high replayability.

I really appreciate the Living Card Game format, as it eliminates the frustration of random card collecting and allows you to customize your deck to your liking. The core set provides everything you need to get started, and the expansions offer a wealth of additional content. However, I found that the core set is more than enough for a good amount of fun, especially for new players.

One of the things I really enjoyed was the quality of the components. The cards are well-made, with beautiful artwork, and the Cthulhu statuettes are a nice touch. I've found the game to be durable enough for regular play, but I still recommend using card sleeves to protect them.

Some reviewers have found the game to be complicated, but I found it to be straightforward once I got the hang of it. If you're new to this type of game, I recommend following the rulebook carefully and watching the video tutorials available online.

Overall, I highly recommend Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game to anyone who enjoys card games, the Cthulhu mythos, or simply a good strategy game. It's a great way to experience the world of Lovecraft in a fun and engaging way.
