The stars are right, and you know what that means! Scientists at CERN wanted to see whether Cthulhu actually exists somewhere in another universe. The effects of this research was obvious... Yes, our scientists have opened a portal to R'lyeh and bad stuff is coming through. Multiuniversum: Project Cthulhu, the first expansion for Multiuniversum, includes twenty new worlds full of Cthulhu that replace the original ones and bring in new mechanisms and risks. So what are we changing here? Portals: Every time you close a portal, you lose a bit of your sanity, which is represented by insanity cards. Insanity Cards: These cards are something new and nasty. As you close portals, you collect them and they are face down for most of the time. Museum Card: The museum is where the players can get some of their sanity back. You can interact with it to spend some of your insanity cards for various effects. Move: In addition to all the things you could do using action cards, you can also discard one to move to an adjacent transformer.
Multiuniversum: Project Cthulhu supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Multiuniversum: Project Cthulhu is 20–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Multiuniversum: Project Cthulhu for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
