Description
Cassilda’s Song is a collection of weird fiction and horror stories based on the King in Yellow Mythos created by Robert W. Chambers—entirely authored by women. There are no pretenders here. The Daughters of the Yellow Sign, each a titan of unmasked fire in their own right, have parted the curtains. From Hali’s deeps and Carcosa’s gloomy balconies and Styx-black towers, come their lamentations and rage and the consequences of intrigues and follies born in Oblivion. Run into their embrace. Their carriages wait to take you from shadowed rooms and cobblestones to The Place Where the Black Stars Hang.The 1895 release of Chambers’ best-remembered work of weird fiction was salted with nihilism and ennui, and ripe with derangement, haunting beauty, and eerie torments. Poe’s influence was present in the core tales and one could easily argue Chambers may have been influenced by the French Decadents and the disquieting transfigurations of the Symbolists. All this and more can be said of the works collected in this anthology. Carcosa, accursed and ancient, and cloud-misted Lake of Hali are here. The Hyades sing and the cloud waves break in these tales. The authority of Bierce’s cosmic horror is here. The talismantic Yellow Sign, and the titular ‘hidden’ King, and The Imperial Dynasty of America, will influence and alter you, as they have the accounts by these writers. Cassilda and other unreliable narrators, government-sponsored Lethal Chambers, and the many mysteries of the mythical Play, are boldly represented in these tributes to Chambers.Have you seen the Yellow Sign?

This game is a hoot to play. I'm thinking it's a must have for any H.P. Lovecraft fan. A very light game that had me smiling non stop from start to finish.
9.0/10
A light but fun cardgame. Best played with 5-6 experienced players. Not for people who dislike random effects like dicerolling. Would be a good game even if stripped off the Chutuly mythos, but it definitely adds to the feel. Iä Iä, Chuthulu!
8.0/10
Fun game. Great theme with a solidly working mechanic underneath. Loses some marks for a poorly organized rule book. Spent the first couple of games not knowing what happens to a damaged car that gets further damaged. Improves by playing with people who are into the theme.
8.0/10
At the intersection of Eldrich Horror, Auto Racing, and Card Games you will find this. I like all those 3 things, and unsurprisingly I really like this game. It takes a bit of playing to really get used to, and the "additional damage" rules are tough to remember, but overall it's so unique that I can't help but love it.
