What's On This Page (And What's Not)

These lists do not include miniatures games that contain a mention of the Cthulhu Mythos but are not generally Mythos-themed. (Yes, Illuminati has "The Servants of Cthulhu." No, that doesn't make it a Mythos-themed game.)

Miniatures: Miniatures games are typically a form of tactical wargame, where players use miniature figures on a tableau (often made by the players) to enact a battle, using published rules to determine the outcome of the battle. Sometimes the game has its own line of miniatures, while other times players are expected to use independently produced miniatures.

These lists include rules for miniatures, and not the miniatures themselves or any other accessories, although those items may be mentioned on the game's page.
