Kingsport Festival

Players take the role of rival cult leaders vying to dominate a New England coastal town by invoking eldritch beings and spreading their influence. Over a fixed number of rounds, players roll dice to call forth Elder Gods, spend those dice to gain powerful but sanity‑costing rewards, and deploy followers to claim connected locations across the city. Periodic raids by investigators and event cards force confrontations in which cult strength is compared to investigator strength, producing gains or penalties. The game resolves after the final round or a scenario‑specific festival, and the cult with the most cult points wins.
