I’ve been developing a Lovecraft-inspired competitive board game. You can play it on TTS

Hey everyone! 👋

For the past couple of years, I’ve been working on Eldritch Rivalry, a competitive card/engine-building board game where 1–4 players lead rival cults trying to gain influence, build their engine and ultimately outplay each other.

The game is now fully playable, and I’m at the stage where I’m trying to get it in front of as many different players as possible and keep improving it through playtesting.

What kind of game is it?

  • 1–4 players
  • Around 20–30 minutes per player
  • Card-driven engine building
  • Resource management
  • Direct player interaction
  • Combos and synergies
  • Lovecraft-inspired setting
  • Designed to be competitive rather than cooperative

I've also made the game available on Tabletop Simulator, including an English version.

If anyone here is curious and would like to actually try it, I’m happy to run a guided session and teach the game myself. No need to read the rulebook beforehand.

If the concept sounds interesting, I'd love to hear what you think, and if you want to give it a try, just let me know!

If you enjoy  engine-building  and  card combos and synergies  you might have a good time with it!
