"Sinister forces are making their way into the heart of Venice, delving its alleys and canals in search of powerful artifacts. By day and by night, the balance of power teeters between the forces of humanity and the minions of greater and darker powers, powers beyond human comprehension. These are the struggles of Terror in Venice, the upcoming deluxe expansion for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game…
In an earlier preview, we explored how the game’s different factions gain and lose strength as the time of day or night changes, but Terror in Venice offers players a deeper thematic experience than that provided by just the changing of time.
Few mortals truly appreciate the perils that threaten the world. The terrors lurk at the very edges of reality, poised to break through. Should they succeed, these powerful extra-dimensional entities could drench the world in blood, reduce it to ash and cinders, or devour it, one being at a time. Still, there are those madmen, power-hungry idolators, and monstrous servitors who conspire to help these ancient evils gain entry to our reality. Meanwhile, small, secret societies of wealthy and knowledgeable men and women dabble with powerful artifacts and dark magic; church operatives collaborate with local officials as they pursue agendas known only to the Vatican and scholars from Miskatonic University travel to Italy as part of their desperate search for the truth…and a means to stave off imminent doom. Each group grasps at only a few strands of the larger picture, and each conceals its efforts, hoping that secrecy will give it an edge in the coming struggles.
Accordingly, Terror in Venice introduces seven new conspiracies to Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game (three copies of each). We’ve already seen a few of these with the expansion’s announcement and on its description page, but the impact of these new conspiracies reaches beyond the flavor of just one or two cards. The powerful game effects these cards offer, such as those of Unending Festivities (Terror in Venice, 29) and Purity of Purpose (Terror in Venice, 26), force players to consider their impact beyond just the story phase and the moment a conspiracy is won. Altogether, these seven new conspiracies are likely to introduce a whole new era of secrecy and paranoia to the ongoing terrors of Call of Cthulhu, and 2011 World Champion Tom Capor offers a closer look at the design of one of these new conspiracies."
