Arkham Horror

(GAME SUMMARY) Drake says: "Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game in which players choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient Ones is chosen and it's up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. Later, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons, and spells. Players must clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of monsters, but their main goal is to close portals to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With too many portals open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world. Defeat the Ancient One in combat!" (TIPS/COMMENTS) John says: "Arkham Horror is an amazing cooperative board game that plays up to 8 players. The theme and gameplay is top-notch, as are the components. The rule book is a little rough, asking readers to flip back and forth too often. However, don't let it "scare" you away from this gem!" Designer: Kevin Wilson & Richard Launius Description: The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It's a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the war to end all wars. Yet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between worlds. These gates have begun to open and must be closed before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined domination. Only a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they Prevail?
