    I played this game 7 times over the weekend and absolutely love it! (Lost 3 won 4.) Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

      AH is one of my all-time favorites. Played the 1st and 2nd edition a ton. Have played Eldritch Horror like crazy over the past two years. Good to have a revised version of AH back in the mix hey? Well overdue :)

      Thanks for info. Without expansions how much re-playability do you think there is?

      @b.c.eckhoff3495 6 лет назад +1

      Kneecapper : I think it has a lot of replayability. Even when you pick an investigator you have options with what cards to bring with them. There is enough variety in the encounter decks and event deck to keep you come back again and again, not to mention the randomness of items, spells, allies, and the dice themselves. Even some of the scenarios have different choices you can make. I mean, it definitely has more replayability than the core set of Arkham Horror LCG for example.

    I'm about 1/2 through my first game, and I am LOVING it. I really like 2nd edition, and have played many times, but this new one blows it away. Nikkie Valens knocked it out of the park with this one. FFG losing her is a HUGE loss. The way the narrative unfolds adds the crucial element to the game that was missing from 2nd edition - an ebb and flow to the plot. Everything happens for a reason in this game. It really feels like you are having an impact on the game state while playing. HIGHLY recommended.

      Me too. Something about the focus on the art really draws me in. Going from a full board to modular is an interesting choice but I like it so far. I can see the possibilities being pretty crazy with this system. Plus AH has needed a face lift for quite some time!

      Hey Carlos! Great question. I can’t remember off hand to be honest (which is kinda sad lol) but this game you really want to have two or more investigators. Just like most of the Arkham and Eldritch games. It’s in your favour to do so!

    Agnes i think should have (Flesh Ward) so as to have the ability to heal both herself as well as Calvin, since it's they beginning of the game who knows what to expect? And as for Calvin (Accept) the Dark pack! Re-Rolls are always needed in Arkham, and besides it's not Arkham without someone being involved in a Dark Pact...😀

    I have the impression that the dark pact has some good effect but with a timer (die roll) before bad effects kick in, taking 1 at start of game would be dangerous if true.

      @RollingSolo  4 года назад

      Great question Stefan! I’d use the rulebook to determine placement. For this playthrough (I used a much smaller table at the time of filming) they were of camera. Just ensure they’re within easy reach. You’ll give the character health and sanity damage as they receive it. Cheers!

    • @RollingSolo
      @RollingSolo  5 лет назад

      Ah, that's too bad Ian. Not all games work for everyone. The objective is the narrative deck. You start with cards that branch off each other based on which you succeed at the objective or fail (trigger a fail condition sometimes). This is shown in my videos. The first card can go multiple ways and so on.
