Cthulhu Wars: Colour Out of Space Gate Pack

About this expansion

Cthulhu Wars: Colour Out of Space Gate Pack is a 2016 expansion for 1–8 players, with a play time of 120 minutes. It adds 8 plastic gates in each of the 8 playable faction colors, introducing special rules that make every Doom phase more unpredictable.

Whenever a player Creates a Gate, they may place an available Colour Gate of any color instead of a normal Gate. A Colour Gate functions as a normal Gate during the Gather Power Phase, but its color determines what happens when the Colour die is rolled at the start of each Doom Phase.

• Meteorite: The first player without a Colour Gate replaces one normal Gate with an available Colour Gate.
• Fertility: Colour Gates can grant Power or Doom, provide extra Elder Signs, or kill the lowest-cost enemy Monster or Cultist at the Gate.
• Feasting: Controllers may lose Power or Doom, eliminate one of their own units, gain Doom, or become unable to perform a Ritual of Annihilation.
• Madness: Effects include gaining or losing Power and Doom, killing a Monster or Cultist, and restricting Rituals.
• Blight: Controllers may lose Power or Doom, eliminate one of their units, or be unable to perform a Ritual.
• Departure: The player with the lowest Doom total replaces one Colour Gate anywhere on the map with a normal Gate, then the die is rerolled.

Ties for lowest Doom during Departure are resolved in player order, and a second roll of 6 ends the additional effect. With cross-faction Gate placement and a changing set of consequences, Colour Out of Space Gate Pack adds a volatile layer of timing and risk to Cthulhu Wars.
