A Fun Game,

This review is from: Cthulhu Dice (Toy)
Cthulhu Dice is a pretty simple game, but instead of explaining how it works it would probably be more helpful to point you to the flash demo on the SJ Games website.
[...] I bought Cthulhu Dice at a game shop about an hour away from my house while on a trip with some friends. We opened it on the drive home and played the whole way back, rolling in an upturned frisbee. This is definitely not a game you'll play all night, you'll probably play it in the down time between larger games or while you're waiting for the last few people to show up. That said, the game is extremely fun. It's fast paced, easy to learn, and, best of all, portable. I've started carrying the die that comes with the game when I go out and starting games while waiting in line or stuck in traffic. It's great for killing time and getting some quick fun in. The game comes with glass beads to use as sanity counters and a large, 12 sided die with several different symbols relating to the Cthulhu mythology. The beads are nothing special, though the sickly green is suitably creepy. The die is beautiful; it's significantly larger than a normal d12 so the images are clear and easy to see.

This review is from: Cthulhu Dice (Toy)
The game is quick and easy and very portable. There is not really much of a strategy - just a bit. We played with four people total, and the game lasted maybe twenty minutes. It certainly has a coolness factor with the large, custom d12 and the Cthulhu themed game play.
I mostly see this game as something that you can whip out between other activities or while waiting in a long line or at a convention while waiting for an event to start. One or two games in a row and you're pretty ready to move on and try something else. Also, you'll need to keep the one-sheet rules with it, at least until everyone's memorized the little table. It's not hard, but not obvious, either. Again, the whole thing can be slipped into a little ziplock bag and tossed into a backpack and then pulled out for those ten to twenty minutes between activities when you want to have a mild distraction with your friends. [BTW: I also own "Zombie Dice" from Steve Jackson Games. These games are totally different. Different dice, different rules, and different game play. I'm just adding this in case anyone thought they were differently themed versions of the same game; they are not.]

This review is from: Cthulhu Dice (Toy)
My eldest picked this up recently because he loves playing games. It's a complete game in one small package, that plays very quickly and doesn't involve strategy or serious thought. Each player gets 3 Sanity counters, and rolls the dice against someone else as an attack. The person attacked then gets a roll of the dice to respond. When one player has sanity and the rest have "gone mad" or when everyone has lost all their sanity, the game is over.
The sanity counters are flat green marbles like you can find in craft stores. The dice is a large 12 sided die with easy to see designs that are in good contrast. It's super easy, and since game play goes so fast it's a great game when you're waiting at a restaurant with a couple friends or to pass a couple minutes between other games. It's not something to play for hours and hours, but for a few minutes, it's a lot of fun. Because it's just the one die and sanity counters, it's very portable.
