Cthulhu Wars: Primeval Earth Map

About this expansion

Cthulhu Wars: Primeval Earth Map is a 2015 expansion for 2–4 players with an approximately 90-minute play time. It introduces an ancient Earth map that dramatically changes how the game unfolds.

The Primeval Map is double-sided and can be assembled into four different maps. Each configuration offers the foundation for a game shaped by an environmental threat that steadily transforms the available space.

At the start of each turn, a Glacier piece appears in one of the polar areas. The glacier then moves south or north as the game progresses, gradually constraining players’ actions and movements.

• Double-sided map with four possible configurations
• Glaciers that emerge in polar areas and advance across the map
• Increasing restrictions on movement and actions
• Forced battles in the equatorial regions during the later game

As the glaciers advance, the open space available to the players becomes increasingly limited. Eventually, everyone is pushed toward the equatorial regions, where the tightening board naturally produces a bloodbath.

This expansion is built for players who enjoy massive clashes and forced battles, especially in the mid-to-late game. Compared with a normal game of Cthulhu Wars, the Primeval Earth Map creates even more pressure to collide as the glaciers close in.

For groups seeking a more dramatic and constricted experience, Cthulhu Wars: Primeval Earth Map turns the changing battlefield into a central part of the struggle. Choose a map configuration, watch the glaciers advance, and prepare for the inevitable conflict around the equator.
