About the game
Gobogeg, Sandy Petersen's Original Great Old One Miniature Figure for the Cthulhu Wars game. Gobogeg, the Twice-Invoked. This is our interpretation of the awful vision which Danforth received in the final scenes of Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”. Gobogeg is the embodiment of the Moon-Ladder – the final destruction of all Earth existence, as a new moon bursts forth from our surface, and the continents and seas dissolve into seething magma. Naturally enough, his presence changes the rules for ALL the players in Cthulhu Wars in a huge way. The first player to Awaken Gobogeg takes the loyalty card, and places the figure on the map, under his control. Gobogeg comes with its own unique power, plus if you can fulfill the requirement for its spellbook, you can enhance it even more. Comes as the Cthulhu Wars Great Old One Pack Three.
