About this expansion

Cthulhu Wars: Beyond Time and Space is a 2019 game for 2–8 players, with an approximately 120-minute play time, featuring additional monsters and terror for the Cthulhu Wars setting.

This set includes four Wamp miniatures, two Voonith miniatures, a Hound of Tindalos figure, and three Loyalty cards. The Hound of Tindalos, Wamp, and Voonith sculpts are credited to “Tidal 4.”

The Voonith is an “amphibious horror” referenced by H. P. Lovecraft in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. Its design draws on sirens and amphisbaenas: amphibians and reptiles with forelegs but no hind legs. The miniature depicts a long, eel-like rear body, clawed and fanged front limbs, and a raised posture ready to strike.

In play, each Voonith costs 3 Power and has 1 Combat. Its special ability reflects the creature’s nature as a solitary hunter: in a battle involving your Voonith, if you roll no kills, add one kill to your total.

  • Two Vooniths that roll no kills provide two additional kills.
  • If two Vooniths roll only one kill, their ability supplies one more kill.
  • Each Voonith effectively provides a guaranteed kill in battle.

That ability means the Voonith’s single combat die is not simply a weakness. Cthulhu Wars: Beyond Time and Space gives these mysterious creatures a distinctive role, rewarding players who bring them into battle and making even an unsuccessful roll potentially dangerous for their opponents.
