About the game
With The Great Old Ones Game Up, eldritch entities are invading the dark lands of Kemet! This expansion allows you to swap the Thoth and Apophis miniatures from the Book of the Dead expansion with none other than Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep. This is a cosmetic game up, as the two Mythos entities have the same effects as their Egyptian counterparts from The Book of the Dead. In the fantasy world of Kemet: Blood and Sand, the Ancient Egypt classic gods are not the only ones to be worshiped. Darker and scarier gods are the focus of unholy cults: the great Cthulhu is worshiped on the Nile shores, whereas the name of Nyarlathotep, the Black Pharaoh, is whispered in the far desert.
