Keep the Heroes Out!: The Great Dreamer Expansion

About this expansion

Keep the Heroes Out!: The Great Dreamer Expansion is a 2022 expansion for 1–4 players, with a play time of 40 minutes. This crowdfunding exclusive adds Cthulhu as a playable monster clan.

Cthulhu brings a distinctive presence to the dungeon. Unlike a monster that can be defeated, Cthulhu can never be killed, giving this playable clan a unique rule that shapes how attacks are handled.

When Cthulhu is attacked, it does not leave play. Instead, it lies down for a nap and gains the ability to mind-control any heroes on the dungeon.

• Cthulhu joins the game as a playable monster clan.
• Cthulhu can never be killed.
• After being attacked, Cthulhu naps and gains the ability to mind-control any heroes on the dungeon.

This unusual combination of permanence, vulnerability response, and hero control gives the expansion a focused identity. Attacking Cthulhu triggers a transformation rather than an ordinary defeat, turning the encounter into an opportunity to influence the heroes.

As a crowdfunding exclusive, Keep the Heroes Out!: The Great Dreamer Expansion offers a specific addition for players who want to bring Cthulhu into their dungeon. Its rules are centered on one memorable idea: the Great Dreamer cannot be killed, and attacks awaken its mind-controlling potential.
