Gameplay

Players cooperatively fight an ancient evil stirring from its slumber and must seal off this awakening horror before it's too late. Players travel around the globe battling monsters, solving mysteries, and equipping up, all to prevent the Ancient One from entering the world and threatening to destroy it.

The game is separated into three sections: the action phase (where each player takes actions for their character), the encounter phase (where players draw encounter cards and experience the world around them) and the mythos phase (where the Ancient One and his minions get an opportunity to act out their nefarious deeds).
