Try a $200 Cthulhu based board game (more like $500 with expansions). I will bring the expansions and extra large map to play with 8 players (7+me). Try google imaging the game to see its epic-ness.
Description:
The Old Ones have risen. Monsters walk the Earth. Humanity is finished, but the struggle continues.
Which Great Old One will rule the ruins of Earth?
Cthulhu Wars is a fast-moving strategy game about the end of the world. You take the part of various monstrous aliens seeking to dominate the world. You can play as Great Cthulhu himself, or you can take charge of other factions, such as the slithering hordes of the Crawling Chaos, or the insane minions of the Yellow Sign. Summon monsters unique to your own Faction. Each Faction is strikingly different in tactics and techniques. A strategy that works for the Black Goat will be ineffective for the Crawling Chaos.
Cthulhu Wars is a combination of strategic gaming and Lovecraftian horror, with the bonus of high-quality monster figures to make your game even more fun.
