Elder SignIf you want to play Arkham Horror, and who doesn't? but you don't have the time for a full on game, or you don't want to sort cards for an hour or so before hand, then Elder Sign is for you.
Its a cheaper, faster, but more luck based version of Arkham Horror. I love this, and if not for Arkham Horror, this would be my go to game.
Instead of roaming the town of Arkham for clues, you are in the Museum in Arkham going though rooms looking for clues. You will lose more than you win, and if the big baddy shows, he will probably eat your face. Its a hard, frustrating, but fun game.
My only problem with it is its all about die rolls. Sure you can play the odds a bit, but its still comes down to luck.
B+
