This is the third edition of Unspeakable Words.
If a player has two copies of the game, the decks and Cthulhu pawns can be combined to double the maximum number of players (eight more players or a total of sixteen.) A copy of this edition can be combined with one of the previous editions to add six more players or a total of fourteen. The "Mini Mythos" add-on also adds six more players, but without the advantage of additional cards.
