About Eldritch Rivalry, from BoardGameGeek:

Eldritch Rivalry is a competitive strategy game for 1-4 players, inspired by Lovecraftian myths, ancient gods, and dark cults. Each player leads a unique cult in a ruthless race to earn the favor of the Great Old Ones. Over the course of 12 rounds, players move across the map and take up to three actions per turn - such as drawing or playing cards, completing missions, sacrificing acolytes, and buying from the market - while racing to complete shared objectives before their rivals to earn precious rewards. Objectives are limited and can only be claimed by one player, adding urgency, player conflict, and area contention. In addition to competing for missions, players can also sacrifice their acolytes to perform powerful rituals that grant victory points and unique strategic advantages. Games last around 90 minutes with 4 players. The game offers high replayability and evolving strategies thanks to 248 cards across 9 unique decks - far more than you'll use in a single session. -description from the publisher

Description provided by Eldritch Rivalry - Gameboard Lovecraft-Inspired on YouTube:

Build your engine. Sacrifice your acolytes. Build again. Welcome to Eldritch Rivalry, a competitive Lovecraftian strategy board game for 1-4 players, built around engine-building, powerful card combinations, rival cultists, and strategic sacrifice. In the mysterious city of Memesburg, four ambitious cultists compete for power. Recruit Acolytes, collect Artefacts, complete Quests, and unleash powerful abilities to disrupt your opponents. But building your engine is only half the game. To claim victory, you'll need to make difficult choices: sacrifice the Acolytes you've recruited, earn Victory Points, and rebuild your engine before your rivals gain the upper hand. Three years in the making. Eldritch Rivalry is an independent project that I've been developing, refining, and bringing to the table for the past three years. More than 200 people have already played the game during demonstrations and events, helping shape its evolution. This video brings together the cinematic world of Eldritch Rivalry, its core gameplay mechanics, and real footage from those demonstrations. The next chapter is on Gamefound. If you enjoy strategic board games, clever card combinations, direct player interaction, and Lovecraftian themes, I'd love to have you along for the journey.
