About this game

Star Realms has gone insane! Introducing Cthulhu Realms! Are you zany enough to play the crazier and creepier cousin of Star Realms?

In Cthulhu Realms, each player tries to drive their opponent insane or have more sanity than their opponents when the deck runs out.

How to Play the Game:
Each player starts the game with a small deck comprised of initiates, goons and followers. Five cards from the deck form a row of available cards on the table; with more than two players, place three available cards between each pair of players.

Each turn, you start with five cards in hand, playing those cards in order to put locations into play, boost your own sanity or reduce that of others, collect conjuring power to acquire new cards, and remove cards from the game. You can use the power of your locations once each turn. At the end of your turn, discard any cards still in hand and all entities and artifacts that you played.

If you lose all of your sanity, you're out of the game. If you're the only one at the table who's still sane, you win. Otherwise, the game ends when the deck runs out and whoever has the most sanity wins.

Ratings and reviews

[Easy & entertaining. I play at least one game per day. It would be a blessing if the background art could be a screen saver.] This was originally a 5-star review. Since the last update, when the logo changed finally from "White Wizard" to "Wise Wizard", I have not been able to play at all on any device. The app crashes immediately. I don't begrudge my membership fee but I miss my favorite game.

Took some time to get a handle on things. The tutorials are fine, but don't really communicate the subtleties of gameplay. Once you've played awhile and memorized the cards, though, it becomes quite fun. About the A.I.: like a lot of other people, I thought at first that the A.I. cheated. I no longer think that, EXCEPT with regard to Location card draws. The A.I seems to get locations back into play very quickly, while I can have ten in my deck and struggle to see one. Maybe my deck is bigger?

I've played tons of single player games against both the hard and easy AI and I genuinely believe there is a shuffling problem. WAY too many times the AI gets the same cards together (that are very beneficial when together) on multiple shuffles or I'll have 5 cards that can abjure and I draw them all on the first hand over and over (leaving me unable to abjure) . My location draws are usually the last card of my deck.., things like that. Often due to this there aren't alot of close games ;I can't get anything going until I can literally string my entire deck together and hit for 40 points. This game has been my goto for a long time and I really believe the shuffling is either bad or it tweaks it to allow the AI to be 'harder'.
