In addition, Call of Cthulhu is also a Living Card Game, and your enjoyment and experience of the game can be customized and enhanced through the addition of regularly released 60-card expansions, called Asylum Packs. Each Asylum Pack provides you with new options and strategies for each of the decks in this set, as well as cards you can use to build original decks of your very own. The CoC LCG can be played both casually, with your friends, or competitively, through the organized play tournament program that is officially sanctioned by Fantasy Flight Games.  \nComponents  \nThe Call of Cthulhu Core Game includes the following components:  \n• This Rulebook  \n• 165 cards  \n• 1 Game Board  \n• 36 Success and Wound Tokens  \n• 6 Cthulhu Domain Markers Component Overview Cards  \nThe Call of Cthulhu Core Game features 165 cards that can be used to assemble 21 different deck combinations that can be played right out of the box. The cards are divided among seven of the factionsin the CoC card game: The Agency, Miskatonic University, The Syndicate, Cthulhu, Hastur, Yog Sothoth, and Shub Niggurath. Any two of these factions can be combined to form a playable deck.  \n2  \nGame Board  \nThe game board forms the center of the Call of Cthulhu LCG play area. It holds the story cards that players will investigate and attempt to win throughout the game, the story deck from which won story cards are replenished, and both a pool and a success track for the Cthulhu success tokens.  \nSuccess Tokens and Wound Tokens Players place success tokens on the success track on their side of the game board as they succeed at the stories in the game. Wound tokens are placed on character cards to track wounds dealt to that character.  \nSuccess Wound  \nCthulhu Domain Markers  \nDomains are used to play cards during the game, and the Cthulhu domain markers are used to mark when a domain has been used by a player. Placing a domain marker on a domain “drains” that domain, and it cannot be used again until it refreshes on that player’s next turn.  \nGame Overview  \nThese rules are for playing the Call of Cthulhu LCG with two players. Rules for multiplayer games can be found at  \nWWW.CTHULHULCG.COM  \nThe focal points of the Call of Cthulhu LCG are the story cards, which are drawn at random from a fixed common story deck and placed on the game board between the players. During the game, players take turns playing character and support cards from their hands and then using these cards to achieve success at these stories.  \nWhile characters are committed to a story, they may face opposition in four different arenas: Terror, Combat, Arcane, and Investigation.  \nEvery turn, as a story resolves, the active player may receive success tokens on his side ofa story card. When a player has accumulated five success tokens on his side of a story card, he wins that story. A player that wins three stories immediately wins the game!  \nThe Factions  \nThere are seven different factions in the Call of Cthulhu LCG, each with its own unique take on the Mythos. Each faction  \nis represented in the game with a unique symbol and color/texture on its card border. Players can read about these factions on [www.cthulhulcg.com](www.cthulhulcg.com).  \nThe factions and their symbols are as follows:  \n_ The Agency { Miskatonic University} The Syndicate [ Cthulhu] Hastur \u003C Yog-Sothoth> Shub-Niggurath  \nCards with a grey border and no specific resource symbol are neutral.","cbCaitXHWotZMeNi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitXHWotZMeNi","pdf",6083894,"English","# Introduction\n# Living Card Game\n## Components\n## Game Board\n# Game Overview\n# The Factions\n# The Golden Rule\n# Exhausted, Ready, and Insane\n# The Cards","[{\"question\":\"What is the core objective in the Call of Cthulhu LCG?\",\"answer\":\"Players win by succeeding at story cards: five success tokens on a story card win that story, and winning three stories ends the game.\"},{\"question\":\"How do story cards and success tokens work during play?\",\"answer\":\"Story cards are drawn from a common story deck and placed between players.
