    I remember playing this many years ago, long before I was into board games like I am now. It was my first co-op board game. I remember really caring about the other players' turns, especially the tension in dice rolling.
    Now that I've been reintroduced, I think I'll get a copy! I have some friends who would really like a lightweight co-op dice-rolling Lovecraft board game.

    Thank you for featuring easily available, still in print games. It seems like every channel is nothing but sponsored Kickstarter videos of games that won't be released for another two years, or games that are 3-figures on the secondary market.

      That's the rule of the channel really. Asides from a few exceptions here and there (Mostly for Garphill games as they are locals), i insist the games either be in print or be on their say to stores before i cover them.

    Someone is goign to tell me that elder sign is actually 1-8 players, and while it says that on the box. It's utter nonsense. Playing elder sign with 8 people would be farcical. So while the printed number is that, i've picked a much more realistic player count for the game. Anyway, Cthulhu Yahtzee adventures, not much more to say.

      @@juliusblaze The implication is, I think, is the immense downtime, and agency for each player would get dramatically reduced at a higher player count.

    I have the core and a few expansions. I wind up trying to mod it almost right away when playing solo (have the dice symbols mean more, extra exploration actions, an extra resource to spend, danger between room spaces, a few other things), but maybe the light and quick feel works better in mixed groups where you're cheering each other on. Nice having all that strange, baroque game art in tiny boxes, I will say.

    Finally, a game I've played many times :) I've enjoyed Elder Sign (and big agree about the amazing phone app), but I sort of lost my taste for it after the second expansion. Casual gamers seem to find the basic game challenging but I've heard "serious" games say it's too easy, so it seems like the difficulty ramped up with the expansions. Unseen Forces was fine, but I found that Omens of Ice escalated the difficulty so high that I just didn't even want to play it any more. Obviously I can separate the decks and go back, but it sort of soured my enjoyment of the game as a whole.

      Branch and claw. Its a much smaller box and to me, really completes the game. JE on the other hand is a lot to digest at once.

      He's a particular tough encounter card with very bad consequences. You can lose the game just because of failing his mission over and over again. And his smug face is there, every time you fail.

    This is one of the games for which 1-2 expansions is a must have.
    While in some of those games the "mandatory" exp. add variety or balance options, here the core game is just too easy.
    It's important that for this reason the core game only has a 6.97. Below 7 is not an elder but a bad sign. ;-)
    Now checking the expansions, they are have about 7.6-8.0 which is a huge jump, BUT it's reasonable.
    To me the base game still is a 7.0, most expansions are about 7.75.

      It's still in print my dude, or at the very least, still available for sale direct from the publisher. Most other channels in board gaming are obsessed with FOMO and the latest releases. I occasionally like to look at older games. Considering we covered backgammon a few months ago, this ones from this century at least.
      Anyway, you can buy a brand new, freshly baked copy here shop.asmodee.com/elder-sign-sl05
