Players act as Cult Leaders 'Serving' the Great Old Ones, specifically, by trying to prepare the Best Snack-Rifices for them while keeping their own hidden followers from becoming lunch.
Players garnish and season potential 'Entrees' with Ingredient cards, making them more appetizing, and more valuable when served to the Old Ones. Placing ingredient cards on opposing Cultists serves to increase their value, while simultaneously directing attention away from their own.
Players take turns 'Serving' the Old Ones, choosing which Cultists to Snack-Rifice and gaining rewards depending on how delectable their choices were. The more ingredients played on a Cultist, the greater the rewards!
Victory goes to the player who has managed to gain the most favor with the Old Ones, both through keeping their followers alive the longest and gaining the most Gold by serving up the most delectable ‘Dishes’ to their Dark Masters.
