Full publisher description

Decode the ancient secrets of R'lyeh by forming words with the letters you find in this sanity-sapping letter game. The more angles that appear in the words, the greater their mystical value, but beware! For each word that is created, you must roll a sanity check against its value to see if the word's power drives you mad! Cthulhu Mythos themed. Awards: Games Magazine's 2007 Word Game of the Year.
