Two new titles are now arriving in Ares' Family and Card Games: the horror-themed Nightmarium Revised Edition and Monsters vs. Heroes: Cthulhu Mythos start to arrive in US game stores from June 20th and will be available in other countries in the coming weeks.
Nightmarium Revised Edition is a fast-playing card game for 2 to 5 players about building nightmares: players combine cards representing body parts to complete surreal creatures and trigger their spine-chilling powers, creating monsters that make opponents gasp in horror. A complete creature is made up of three parts: legs, a torso, and a head. Most cards have a special ability that is activated when the player completes the creature. Nightmarium had its first English edition funded on Kickstarter in 2016, and now arrives in a new and revised edition, published and distributed by Ares, including the expansion “Legions of Horrors.”
Monsters vs. Heroes: Cthulhu Mythos is the second box of the fun and crazy game where characters from mystery and horror stories duel with cards. Players secretly join one of the factions – Monsters or Heroes - by taking a random faction card at the start of the game. Even if players belong to the same faction, there are no teams – it’s a competitive game.
Cthulhu Mythos presents the main characters from H.P. Lovecraft’s masterpieces “The Shadow over Innsmouth” and “At the Mountains of Madness”, in two decks. Players will fight with Robert Olmstead or Zadok Allen, or the dreadful Deep One, or with William Dyer and Danforth, or the creatures that haunt Antarctica. The game is suitable for 2 to 8 players, using the decks separately (for 4 players or less) or mashed together to play with more people, or to have the fun last a little longer.
