I'm curious what Arkham Horror does that Call of Cthulhu doesn't do. The only difference I'm seeing right off, based on this video, is the task resolution system.
This is the second vid i see on this version of CoC and I wanted to see if I really didn't like the mechanics. And I don't, way to many move parts. CoC is way easier and seems to pace much better. I do love the props and the extra dice and especially the maps and that's the only reason I want this box. For transparency I do have the board games and I do use the item cards for my CoC games. Ifor mechanics give this game 4/10, too many things to do to get your actions going, if you are used to the board games you might not mind this, but all these things you have to do to dd something just slows this game too much for me. Artwork 9/10, love it!! Props and Maps 10/10, can never have to much!!!, and of course nothing wrong with having more dice 8/10. Overall if you are a CoC Loremaster then yeah get this box for the goodies, if you are a new player/GM then have at it, good way to get your foot in the door for some juicy Cosmic Horror!!! Thanks for the vid, was awesome to watch!!
A bit of both to be honest. I think it may be a good transition for board gamers with no RP experience to roll into RPGs. I need to sit down with game and get feel for it as it is a bit of a departure from your standard TTRPG.

That kind of is my feeling. I plan on taking it for a spin soon and I’ll get back with my perception on it.
@@OrcusDorkus I'm looking forward to the follow up!
Huzzah!
I likely missed it in the video, but is there a release date ?
The starter set is already available but I am not sure when the actual core book drops.

What is the retail price of this box ?
34.99
@@OrcusDorkus looks like it way worth the price just to get the goodies!!!
Role playing game or board game?
