Abominations: Eldritch Beasts (2024)

Abominations: Eldritch Beasts is a monster-building card game for 2-6 players that combines set collection, light resource management, sabotage, and tile laying. Play as a sorcerer competing to summon a beast that will usher in The End. Roll the sacri-dice to collect colour-coded bones, and feed them to your beast to attach new limbs, or offer them up as sacrifices to charge spells that lay dormant in some monster parts, and use them to sabotage the other Abominations. Players can also use sacrifices to grow scales on their beasts for added protection. Each limb-type requires a certain amount of sacrifices to be grown, and can only connect to bones of a matching colour. Grow matching sets of limbs to score points, or the most of a limb type to claim the corresponding Monster Title - Hydra, Harpy, Kraken, and Leviathan, which come with special abilities when won. Claim additional titles, like Behemoth and Bloodlust, by growing the largest beast, or stockpiling the most sacrifices, and win instantly by summoning The Terror, a pre-determined set of limbs prophesied at the start of the game. The End is nigh. Will you be its champion? —description from the publisher
