Madness? An uncomprehensible fascination with a board game that you often cannot win (no matter what you do)?

And yet new players (like me) still get the game and think they'll be able to understand it.

That's just the Knight vs. Lovecraft principle in effect. We all expect the "good guys/heroes" to win, but how can one really win against a being that is completely alien? In a way that's what this game is about, not winning, but rather experiencing the mythos created by Lovecraft and others, in a way that is more direct than say, reading the The Shadow Over Innsmouth a hundred times.
