Cthulhu 500 Racing Card Game Revs Up For Action

Posted by simoniker on from the unspeakable-nascar-evil dept.

Thanks to OgreCave for pointing to a Yog Sothoth story discussing the announcement of the Cthulhu 500 card game, which is billed as "a racing [card] game with a [Cthulhu] Mythos theme." According to the president of the creators, Atlas Games: "Each player chooses a car for the race, and as the game goes on can to pick up special drivers/pit crew (such as 'The Fungi from Detroit'), and car enhancements (such as 'Rats in the Whitewalls'). And, you know, summon Elder Gods to step on your opponents' cars, and the like."

    This card game almost makes me want to appreciate Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh cards...

    'The Fungi from Detroit'), and car enhancements (such as 'Rats in the Whitewalls')."

    How about:

    Pickman's Motor
    The Car of Cthulhu
    The "VW Thing" on the Doorstep
    The Silver Ignition Key
    The Dream-Quest of Unknown Cardeath
    The Dunwich Humvee
    Imprisoned with the Fords
    The Moon-Buggy
    The Doom that Came to Sebring

    This sounds like an indescribably horrible idea!
    I really can't wrap my mortal mind around this craze, gibbering, primodial concept. Racing and the Old Ones. Balderdash!

    Now if you'd excuse me I have a cauldron of oddly, viscous fluid to stir.
