“Know, O Thief, that these things are mine,
For I am the Dark Pharaoh, him of the Crawling Chaos.
Take what is mine and your blood will boil in your skin,
As I reveal to you my Other Faces and my True Glory.”

Review by Dan:

Arkham Horror is a game for 1-8 players based in the Chthulu Mythos by Lovecraft. The players are the investigators in the town of Arkham, trying to defeat the Deep One from rising and taking over the world.

The game is co-operative (players vs the board), so is ideal to teach new players as you *want* to teach them all the little tricks, after all, either you all win, or you all lose. There are variables that allow for the player count to be anywhere from 1-8, and due to the co-operative play, each real player could run multiple characters without conflict, including playing solo. The game changes depending on which characters are being used as well as which Deep One, as each has their own special abilities that influence play, as well as random monsters and cards drawn.

This is a 2-8 hour game, depending on number and experience of players, as well as how many expansion are used, so set aside an afternoon for some evil fighting! With all 3 board expansions you can expand to 10 players.
