Summary
From the publisher's web site:
In Unicum – H. P. Lovecraft Edition is about the uniqueness of the cosmic horror in Lovecraft’s universe. Each Great Old One and each story by H. P. Lovecraft has something that represents horror in its own special ghastly manner. You must identify these qualities and argue that its card deserves to be entered into the Circle of Unique Cosmic Horror.
In addition to this common task, you also accumulate individual points by correctly estimating the cards and the other players. Agree on whether you want to play with the Great Old Ones or H.P. Lovecraft storries. (sic) Then shuffle the deck and place 9 to 14 cards (according to the number of players) face-up in one half of the table. Cards in this half of the table are the Candidates. The player have (sic) to argue about these candidates in the course of play.
