Cthulhu 500 (2004)

About this game

As the name suggests, Cthulhu 500 is a racing game with a Cthulhu Mythos theme. Each player chooses a car for the race, and as the game goes on can pick up special drivers/pit crews (such as "The Fungi from Detroit"), and car enhancements (such as "Rats in the Whitewalls").

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
