You are one of the Great Old Ones—ancient cosmic powers that have been held in check for countless ages. At last, as the stars align, your devoted cults have summoned you, and it's time to return to the world and unleash your doom upon it!

But there's a catch: you're not alone. Other Great Old Ones are competing for dominance, and your rivals are determined to steal your cultists and snatch victory from your grasp. It's a race to ultimate supremacy where you crush houses, tear holes in reality, and fight to bring about The Doom That Came To Atlantic City!

In this board game, you compete against other players to be the first to destroy the world. There are two paths to victory:

Win by claiming six gates, and the game ends immediately. You only have five gate markers—open a sixth gate and you've won!

At the start of the game, each Great Old One receives a Doom card offering a shortcut to victory. If you land on one of your gates and meet the conditions on your Doom card, you may attempt the action listed. Succeed, and you win! The game combines dice rolling, hand management, trading, and tactical player interaction. The humorous Lovecraftian theme creates a uniquely entertaining experience for anyone seeking an ancient apocalypse with a comedic twist—perfect for players who enjoy cosmic horror with a wink and a smile.
