And his precious copy of the Necronomicon, a book of powerful magic, is up for grabs. Now four factions of monstrous, power-hungry hillbillies must ransack the ramshackle shacks of Dunwich in a frantic search for the treasure. Pit your team of drooling horrors against your friends in an all-out battle of bullets, brawn, and brains. (Yum, brains!) The Hills Rise Wild! is a fast-play miniatures game that's light on the rules and heavy on the ghouls."

This review is from: Hills Rise Wild! (Call of Cthulhu) [BOX SET] (Toy)

One of the best Cthulhu and Lovecraftian board games on the market! After several years playing this, our group has noticed a pronounced advantage for the Whately clan, and a distinct disadvantage for the Cult of Ezekiel, but that does not detract from the fun! Count on 1 hour playtime for each player in the game, and some of our games have run longer. With multiple copies of the game, we have doubled up on a faction to add more players. There is also a random element to the game, besides die rolls, that can throw some unpredictability into play.

Loaded with Cthulhu references, both serious and hilarious, the only complaint I have is that the company has yet to issue any expansions for the game, although some fan-created variants are available for free on the internet. Hours of fun!
