Description
=====The SEQUEL game is up, so check it out. Necronomicon - Book of Dead Names ==== Battle against the Cthulhu Mythos in this single player card game based on the work of HP Lovecraft. Go up ranks and unlock cards as you play.
How to Play
Things to note: Taint doesn't kill (removed if down to 1 life). Sanity goes to -10 only, and cards can still be used. Roll mouse over insanities to see what they do. Creatures only counter attack after you're hit. They don't attack direct. Mouse control. Select a card then hit the centre button to play that card. Cards cost sanity to play (green number in the bottom right) - if you run out of sanity then you will go insane.
Each round the computer will go up one rank. Your rank increase is determined by your score. Score well in a round to increase faster in rank. Cards are unlocked every couple or so levels (not every level). Defeat your opponent by reducing their Life to zero. Sanity can be increased by Discarding sanity costing cards instead of playing them.
When you go insane, if you don't know what an insanity effect does, roll your mouse over the insanity icon.

If the goal of Challenge Mode was to drive me insane, mission accomplished. Might be willing to worship the Old Ones if they'd give me a had with my draws here.

I crunched some numbers, and I'm getting a 17% chance of the opponent _not_ being able to kill you on the first turn in challenge 15

This game perfetly captures the meaning of Lovecraft's stories: You have no control, you are the pawn of outer beings. The randomness is just a way to drive you insane, because you are not in complete control.

basically challenges 15-17 are luck - think of it as trying to roll 6 6's on dice or something -- one interesting note, i have never gotten value from 'city of r'yleh' the one where opp goes insane because his very next card kills me -- its almost as if its programmed that way
