About Old Ones Origins, from BoardGameGeek:

Old Ones Origins is an enhanced reimplementation of Forbidden Stars, created by one of its original designers, Samuel W. Bailey. Eons before the dawn of humanity, ancient gods waged war for dominion over time, space, and all life yet to exist. In Call of Cthulhu: Old Ones Origins, you take on the role of one of these Great Old Ones, clawing for control of the cosmos. This competitive, asymmetric game for 2-4 players lets you command a unique faction-each devoted to a terrifying deity of the Cthulhu Mythos. Master their distinct powers, adapt your strategy, and crush your rivals to ascend as the ultimate force in the darkness. Your main objective in Old Ones Origins is to break enemy seals and collect Victory Points to win the game. The number of Victory Points required depends on the player count and the game length selected during setup. Influences are your primary means of exerting power, with four different types, each enabling different actions. Conquer regions of the universe, summon monstrous servants, and warp reality itself as you battle for ascendancy. There can be only one ruler of the void.
