Museum: The Cthulhu Relics

About this expansion

Museum: The Cthulhu Relics is a 2018 expansion for 2–4 players, playable in about 60 minutes, that brings cursed artefacts and dangerous supernatural powers to your museum collection.

Lost relics infused with the power of six Old Ones—one for each Domain in the game—can now appear as cards are drawn, corrupting your continent decks. Each relic has a standard value and Domain, plus a special power linked to the god it is dedicated to.

Use these powers to strengthen your Domain Collections or hinder your rivals. Possessing the relics also earns Occult points. At the end of the game, the player with the most Occult points receives bonus victory points. Reaching six Occult points lets you draw a Disciple of the Occult secret objective card, offering another opportunity to score at game end.

Power comes with a price. Playing a relic with a value of 5 attracts the attention of the terrifying beings beyond reality and triggers calamitous consequences for your museum. These cards are a genuine double-edged sword: Dagon’s most powerful relic, for example, can flood opponents’ galleries and make parts of them unusable, but some of your own gallery space will also vanish into the depths.

• More than 40 new components
• Object, character, Notoriety, and Event cards
• New effects tokens
• Occult points and Disciple of the Occult objectives

Contained in its own expansion box, Museum: The Cthulhu Relics adds tempting powers, meaningful risks, and a sinister new scoring path to the museum-building experience.
