Cryptozoic Entertainment is releasing The Conjuring of Lucipurr, a card game inspired by the dark nostalgic artwork of Steven Rhodes, set to launch in September.
In The Conjuring of Lucipurr, the players become house cats competing to summon the horrifying Lucipurr, with the promise that the Cat-Demon will grant them dominion over humanity. They must draft cards representing lines, decorations, and sacrifices so they can draw on their summoning sigils using dry-erase markers and forge pacts with lesser Cat-Demons. Each player has their own secret Favor of Lucipurr goal card that guides them in designing their sigil to gain the most Favor. Once all three sigils are complete, the cat with the most Favor wins the game.
The game was created by Nathaniel Yamaguchi (DC Deck-Building Game: Dark Nights – Metal and other DC Deck-Building Game sets and expansions) and was inspired by the dark humor of artist Steven Rhodes’ reimagining of 1970s-era children’s books, representing the seventh title in Cryptozoic’s on-going Steven Rhodes game line and following such titles as Let’s Summon Demons, Let’s Call the Exorcist, and Cryptozoology for Beginners.
The Conjuring of Lucipurr comes with 76 ritual cards featuring original Steven Rhodes artwork, 15 Sigil cards, six Favor of Lucipurr cards, five dry-erase markers, and a Lucipurr standee. It is intended for two to five players, aged 14 and up, and plays in about half an hour. MSRP is $19.99.
In September, Cryptozoic will launch the party game Tear-a-Part (see “Rip, Crumple, and Create in ‘Tear-a-Part’“). In October, the company will release The Adventures of Supergirl and Lobo for the DC Deck-Building Game (see “Supergirl, Lobo Face Off in New ‘DC Deck-Building Game’ Set“).
