CULT OF CTHULHU [O:rec.c] CONVERTS AND SACRIFICES VICTIMS Cedric Chin (Cosmic Illuminati)
You have the power of sacrifice. As a main player, very time you win a

more of yours, instead of sending them to the Warp. Every turn after your
first win, you must perform a "sacrifice": remove one to four opponent tokens
from under your stacks from the game. If no opponent tokens are available, you
must remove one of your tokens from the game. While these tokens are under
your stack, they are "converted". Add their numbers to yours in a challenge.
If a stack is lost to the Warp, you no longer have control over the opponent
tokens and they are released into the Warp. As part of a deal, you may
trade captured tokens back to their original owners.

to placate it by giving up their own souls...
