At length, sick with longing for those glittering sunset streets and cryptical hill lanes among ancient tiled roofs, nor able sleeping or waking to drive them from his mind, Carter resolved to go with bold entreaty whither no man had gone before, and dare the icy deserts through the dark to where unknown Kadath, veiled in cloud and crowned with unimagined stars, holds secret and nocturnal the onyx castle of the Great Ones.
- H.P. Lovecraft, Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath
H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands setting is a fantastic realm that exists just beyond the veil of our conscious minds. It is there that dreams come alive, and nightmares prowl on the periphery of our sanity. This Summer, the
Call of Cthulhu
card game enters this mysterious, parallel dimension with
Dreamlands
.
Dreamlands is the second expansion for the Call of Cthulhu Living Card Game, after The Summons of the Deep , and transports players from the damp back alleys of Innsmouth to the hallucinatory splendor of H.P. Lovecraft's dream world, introducing innovative new gameplay opportunities.
With the debut of Dreamlands , the Day/Night mechanic is introduced to the CoC LCG. Players can now control whether the action of the game takes place under the light of the sun, or in the darkness of night, and the investigators and horrors of the game will benefit, or suffer, accordingly. Additionally, new deck types and strategies have been introduced for all seven Call of Cthulhu LCG factions. Whether you want to play the intrepid human Dreamers, beastly Gugs, or the tricky Zoog, the Dreamlands expansion has something for everyone.
