Night of the Grand Octopus (EN)

It’s the perfect night! As a devoted cultist of the Grand Octopus, you sneak into the celebrated English university to search for the four ingredients necessary to complete the magic ritual that will allow Him to return to this world. But it turns out others have the same idea.

Stealthily gather what you need while keeping an eye on the other cultists and thwarting them when possible. Sometimes clever negotiations are needed. Be the first to complete the task and you will be able to invoke the Grand Octopus and earn His favor.

n Night of the Grand Octopus, you are one of the Elect and have been recruited by the Illuminati to form a cult to glorify the tentacled one. What’s more, your dreams have told you that the time has come, the stars have aligned so that you can perform the “Ritual of Appeal” and bring the Grand Octopus to surface once again. To perform the ritual, however, you need the right magical components, components to be found in a famous English university for young wizards and witches — and you’re not the only one seeking them.

In each round, players secretly place their cultist and monster tokens on locations, then reveal those locations at the same time. If only one cultist group occupies a location, that cult gains strength — but if two or more cults want the same spot, they must negotiate or both lose cult strength. If, on the other hand, a rival monster occupies the location, the cultist is eliminated. Gulp!
