About the game
Tyler Scindere was hired to do a job, plain and simple. But the dangers that face him now are anything but plain, and there’s nothing simple about the dark motives of his employers. Now, the betrayer has become the betrayed, and he’ll need every ounce of courage and wit he can muster if he hopes to remain alive. The Spoken Covenant is a fixed 60 card Asylum Pack that contains 20 different never-before-seen cards based on the dark mythos of master horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the Call of Cthulhu metagame. This is not a stand-alone deck; you must have additional Call of Cthulhu LCG cards to play.
