I like Cthulhu as much as the next person, but sometimes I'm not in the mood to have my sanity sucked out through my eyesockets as my soul is devoured.
This is for games that you would like more if there was less Cthulhu involved.
I´m a real Cthulhu fan, but I think I won´t buy this game simply because Knizia designed it. I´m pretty sure that no cthuloid feeling whatsoever will be in this game. "Abstract strategy" bah! Fhtagn.
Considering the crap that Twilight Creations usually puts out, I will not be seduced again by nice plastic miniatures and theme ("Dante's Inferno" was enough). Reiner Knizia is the reason that makes me very interested in this game. The cover art looks quite bland, though.
I don't know if I'd go quite so far as to say "suck". There are some interesting and clever mechanisms at the heart of the game. But the Cthulhu theme totally wrecked it.
