• Miskatonic Madness Game from Richard Launius

    It's been secretly brewing for nearly a year, but now I'm very happy to announce the release of Miskatonic Madness a two player Cthulhu board game by legendary Arkham Horror designer, Richard Launius.

    Miskatonic Madness takes place at the fabled Lovecraftian University where strange things have been happening since the arrival of Professor Langley to the Anthropology Department. Students have disappeared, chanting heard in the woods and only yesterday a withered corpse of a once young athlete was discovered on the campus green!

    Play the Investgators or the Cultists, save the day or summon your dark god!

    From Richard Launius:

    "...this is an update of a very simple game I designed years ago and gave out a conventions to people who play-tested Arkham Horror and my more robust game designs. It is meant to be simple and in no way is comparable to Arkham Horror or Trail of the Brotherhood, but in its own right is fun and there is a strategy to playing the game. Lastly like Lovecraft stories, the magic of this game is in the imaginations of the viewers. With imagination it is a fun little game."

    It's a simple, enjoyable game. Beer & Pretzels recommended. I've played it with friends and found it fun, I hope you will too.

    The game is available as a series of PDFs contained in a ZIP archive, along with printing suggestions.
