    Highly-thematic cooperative horror masterpiece! For advanced gamers
    🎲 Eldritch Horror (2013)🤓 Corey Konieczka, Nikki Valenz🏭 Fantasy Flight Games.📝Spark Notes:⚡️Prevent the rise of ancient evil⚡️Action selection, map navigation⚡️Character development, story telling⚡️Investigate rumors, collect clues⚡️Defeat monsters, solve mysteries.💼Brief Review:🟢Immersive theme🟢High replay-ability🟢Engaging storytelling🟢Incredibly challenging🟢Meaningful decision making🟢High variability in characters and gameplay❕🟡Low variety in win conditions❕🔴Progress can crumble under bad luck❕Improved by expansions..📝Description:Eldritch Horror is more than a game—it’s an experience. Players take the role of private investigators of the supernatural. Terrifying rumors and cultist activity points to the rise of the Ancient Ones and world destruction. Work together to solve three evil mysteries to save the world. Fail, and an Ancient One arises, significantly increasing the difficulty, and all hope is lost..🎬Final Take:The game is designed for players to lose more than win, and that makes it most exciting. When you make fruitful decisions and find the right combination of items and clues (with a little luck from dice rolls), then victory feels hard fought and well earned. A lost game is often SO close and leaves you knowing you COULD have won (if only we closed that gate in Arkham!), and it makes you want to try again. If you like thematic, story-driven, character development games that can be as encouraging as they are punishing then this game is for you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great game.
    Reviewed in Canada on September 8, 2020
    Fantastic game. Learning curve is worth it. You will quickly want the forsaken lore expansion. It just add more variety of the same stuff and a tougher monster for when you win and feel cocky. I don't know why they didn't just include the forsaken lore stuff to begin with.

    This is a really fun game once you wrap your head around it. We are a light to mid weight game group with no bossy pants players. We learned a lot the first game and were so happy we started another right away.

    We played two games in a row the first time.

    Rulebook could be better but it's pretty decent.

    Box damaged due to poor bundling for shipping. Corner is pushed in a bit. No parts affected. So no impact on rating. Just annoying. Basically the game was packed loose in another box for shipping. Not impressed.

    Fast shipping.
