It is time to attack a minion of the Great Old One. To do this you must be on a Town Card with one or more Shamblers, then resolve the following steps in order:

• Roll one Cthulhu Die for each Shambler present.

• Spend Madness Tentacles from your Player Mat as indicated by the Cthulhu Dice to banish any color Shambler from the Shambler Track. Spent tentacles go to the Discard Mat.

When the Cthulhu Dice are rolled, the highest number of tentacles shown on a single die is the number of Madness Tentacles that must be spent from your Player Mat. The tentacles spent must match the color of the Shambler being banished. If all dice rolled show zero, you banish for free. If the highest number is on more than one die, do not add them together. For example, if you roll two dice with single tentacles, then you only need to spend one Madness Tentacle of the same color as the Shambler.

Note: A player may spend one or two Chaos Tentacles () as a wild color tentacles when banishing a Shambler. For example, if you rolled two tentacles to banish a Shambler you could spend two Chaos Tentacles from your Chaos Track.

Example: You roll two Cthulhu Dice because you’re on a Town Card with two Shamblers present. You roll a and a . You will need to spend two Rage Tentacles, or one Rage Tentacle and one Chaos Tentacle, or two Chaos Tentacles to banish a red Shambler (and similarly for blue and green Shamblers).

If you don’t have the right Madness Tentacles or Chaos Tentacles to spend, you cannot banish a Shambler.

If your dice roll is successful you can banish a Shambler, do the following:

• Place the banished Shambler on the Shambler Mat in the matching color area.

• Move Madness Tentacles that match the color of the banished Shambler from the Shambler Mat to the Discard Mat. How many are moved is based on the number of Rage Tentacles () that were on the player’s Rage Track () when the banishment started.

1. No Rage Tentacles – Move 1 Madness Tentacle.

2. 1 Rage Tentacle – Move 2 Madness Tentacles.

3. 2 Rage Tentacles – Move 3 Madness Tentacles.

• Place any spent Madness Tentacles onto the Discard Mat. If you spent any Chaos Tentacles, they go to the general supply.

Example: You had one Rage Tentacle on your Player Mat when you rolled the Cthulhu Dice. You succeeded in banishing a red Shambler, so you may now move two Rage Tentacles from the Shambler Mat to the Discard Mat, even though you spent one Rage Tentacle as part of the banishment cost.
