   This is a fun game! It is like if D&D, Clue and Monopoly had a baby. This is a slightly difficult game to understand as there are some wacky rules but go slow your first round and really try to understand, everything will make more sense. It is a classic game of Good verses the Forces of evil. Would NOT recommend for children. My family has a weekly game that we meet up and finish the last campaign.

   Everyone works TOGETHER – it’s you against the monsters. A wonderful game for familiesOK – the rule booklet was a tad overwhelming… I searched for and watched a couple YouTube videos and that helped immensely. Once we had played through the first round or two we had the hang of it and enjoyed it a lot! Very wide variety in gameplay (great for repeat play) and the game adapts very well to different numbers of people playing.

   I think this is a great board game. A great deal of replay opportunity. Its far from a easy to learn game. Its gonna require a little effort to learn the game. Be ready to watch a few youtube videos. Its a great multiplayer coop game. The story line is interesting. My family and I have only gone through one scenario. We are looking forward to completing the others.

   It’s not often that you can find a board game that one person can play solo. This game is actually designed for 1 to 6 players but it’s fun to know you can pull it out of the closet and practice alone. This is based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft and the players deal with alien creatures and Ancient Ones.The players are investigators who need to defeat the creatures that live beyond the veil. There are rounds made up of four phases: Action, Monster, Encounter and Mythos. My family often has a game playing night and we found the basics of the game easy to learn but as we continued we needed to refer to the rules book occasionally. I’m sure once we catch on, the game duration will be close to the two hours that the box describes.The game pieces and tiles are wonderfully illustrated creating a creepy feel to the play space. And speaking of play space – this game takes up a lot of horizontal surface so be prepared. As you play the game the actually story develops and builds. For my boys and me we really enjoyed the theme. The game has 4 scenarios that branch so the replayability is good to keep it interesting.Dive into the mythos and hang on to your sanity. This game is a lot of fun.

   I have the previous version of this game as well. It’s complex, interesting, a little slow at times and comes with enough pieces to drive you to madness whilst trying to collect and organize them all after each session.What I like:- It still has the slow paced, horror/investigation feel captured in the previous entry.- They reduced the number of pieces/tokens/etc required to play SIGNIFICANTLY, which I feel makes gameplay quicker, more straightforward and much smoother. (clean up is also much faster)- The streamlined some of the more monotonous mechanics, making for an easier to learn/play experience.- It’s still a high quality box filled with well made materials. I don’t feel like they cut any corners in terms of the quality of product they delivered.What I don’t like:- Some of the monster encounters are a bit less random feeling, which makes them feel like less of a threat.- I felt that while the subtractions were welcome, the additions are lacking. I appreciate the streamlining, I just wish they would’ve used that opportunity to add a little more to the game as well.Overall, if you’ve never played Arkham Horror, this is the edition to get. If you’re an HP Lovecraft or even Mystery/Horror tabletop fan, this will likely not disappoint. If you own the previous edition, I don’t know if you’ll find the changes worth the cost of admission.

   Personally, I love the scenario based structure in this edition. It gives the player reason to care about the goal you are hoping to achieve (stopping the bad things) and gives depth and meaning to the challenge of the game when more bad things get thrown at you and wreck all of your progress (looking at you, mythos phase) . I have found that the scenarios are very well balanced, providing a faint glimmer of hope, while maintaining the constant threat of defeat. Everything I appreciated from the LCG is here with more depth and much better value for money.

   This game is so much fun! You have to do a bit of reading beforehand but it’s pretty easy to catch on to and your whole team is playing together against a the game and not against each other.

   I have been playing a lot of Pandemic: Cthulhu with my family. For those who also play that game, Arkham Horror is NOT Pandemic: Cthulhu. Pandemic you can play in less than an hour. The game length of Arkham Horror is counted by the hours. As in 2-3 (they optimistically say 1-2), or more if you’re learning.There is a LOT to this game. It’s similar to Pandemic: Cthulhu in that you’re all investigators (there are more choices here, however). There are lots of pieces, very confusing pieces at first. I found myself feeling a bit overwhelmed as I punched them out (a process that took some time). It reminded me a lot of my old Avalon Hill-era wargaming with the cardboard unit counters.That said, these pieces are expertly die cut and they punch out without a problem (unlike some of those earlier wargames). And they are lovely to look at. The problem is two-fold: there are a lot of them, and the game box has no storage bins like Pandemic: Cthulhu.Many of the pieces are cards of one variety or another, and these come in three ziplock bags. My original plan was to take the cards out of the bags and store the pieces in the bags instead, but then I have to use a large number of rubber bands to hold the various decks together and any gamer will tell you that’s bad for the cards.I understand why the manufacturer probably failed to provide a nice plastic sorter inside the box, and expense is one of them, I’m sure. The other is that no plastic organizer could have enough slots to organize th.

    Great co-op game! We usually play with just two people, but have played with 4 and it’s just as good. I enjoy this version more than the 2nd Edition.
