What's in the Box? Cthulu Death May Die

The ritual must be disrupted!



Welcome! 

In my gaming group we have very much enjoyed playing the Arkham Horror living card game (LCG). We've spent many happy hours exploring various scenarios with our characters, picking up clues, fighting (and running!) from various horrors that have sought our untimely end, and saving the world. 

I like the world of Cthulu (for gaming, not in terms of the future it conjures up!) and have other games that use the I.P. I'd read about Cthulu Death May Die on Boardgamegeek, and it sounded like an interesting premise - a Cthulu-themed dungeon crawler that puts you up against the Elder Gods, and actually gives you a chance to bring them to a violent end*
(*not an actual possibility in the Cthulu mythos as originally conceived by H.P. Lovecraft - as I understand it.)

My copy of the retail edition arrived the other day, and although I haven't played it yet I've had a chance to look through the box. I'll be painting the minis in due course, but today I'll just document the content in photos.
