“Margo gives the established Core Set the first invitation and Fear of the Unknown the table that specifically wants its modular monsters. More horror is not automatically a clearer first case.”

Cthulhu: Death May Die
The short answer
Cthulhu: Death May Die turns cosmic horror into a fast, miniature-heavy cooperative fight where insanity is also an upgrade track. This hub compares the standalone foundations, teaches the scenario rhythm, and keeps extra monsters from masquerading as necessary first purchases.
