There are many theme looping of a specific noted real estate baron dining table game , but very few of them need the horror of the Lovecraftian mythos descending upon South Jersey and destroy the boardwalk . Behold The Doom That follow To Atlantic City , a caustic remark by creative person Lee Moyer , room decorator Keith Baker , and sculptor Paul Komoda ( who worked on The affair and Cabin in the Woods ) .
This playfulness - for - all - age destruction of reality — which has been in the whole kit for two tenner — was “ inspired by [ Moyer ’s ] love of the Cthulhu Mythos and scorn for a certain display board biz that shall not be key . ”
Even though it bears a trivial resemblance to a certain Parker Brothers land grab , The Doom That occur To Atlantic City is more about destroying the dirty jewel of the Garden State using cultists and eldritch powers . As Baker explainsin the rules rundown :
You begin with a well-chosen community filled with houses , and then you and your friend arrive . Each of you is playing one of HP Lovecraft ’s Great Old Ones , and your goal is to smash house , exposed gates , and destroy the Earth . But you each want to demolish it in your own special way . As Cthulhu , you want to ensure that pesky Shub - Niggurath does n’t swipe in and destroy it first !
The idea of Azathoth the Blind Idiot God trash Park Place is pretty fantastic . If you ’ve always yearn to combine Yog Sothoth and seaside fun in the Lord’s Day , you may pitch in at their Kickstarter campaign .
