Move too slow and you risk an ancient evil from beyond time and space emerging onto Earth, resulting in the planet’s destruction. In Eldritch Horror, players take on the role of an occult investigator and world traveler as he or she seeks to unravel a selection of mysteries threatening the world. After a number of sessions playing the final game, I’m confident that Eldritch Horror can sit confidently beside its predecessor. Eldritch Horror is a brand-new game inspired by Arkham Horror, but with its own distinct and streamlined mechanics and style.
That newest edition has been a staple of many game libraries for years, offering up horror-themed cooperative adventures that provide a challenging (and challenging to learn) evening of entertainment. The original version released way back in 1987 and was designed by Richard Launius, with a new version produced by Fantasy Flight in 2005. Longtime board game players likely need no introduction to Arkham Horror.
