What
better place to play an intense and scary board game then miles away
from civilization? I helped my good friend KJ close up camp. Once the
work was done and we were full from Maltese burgers on the BBQ we hunkered down for an epic game of ELDRITCH HORRORS! MUHAAAHAAHAAA!
When I say Epic - I mean EPIC. Setup for this beast is a 7/10 on the difficulty scale - at least for me. Not for the faint of heart and if you're trying to jam this game into a specific time schedule. You need to set aside an evening for this whopper. But it is absolutely worth the wait.
HP Lovecraft inspired, Eldritch Horrors is similar to Elder Signs - however this takes place on a global scale. The actual board game is stunning and puts you into an Indiana Jones sort of feel with the time period it represents and the look of the map itself.
There's a lot going on and it took me a few turns to get into the flow of it. This is a team game. You and your mates versus the horrors unleashed. Glowing Turtle does an excellent walk through of this intricate game.
The objective is clear - defeat King Boss before to many portals open up and unleash unspeakable monsters and the DOOM CLOCK runs out.
The time flies playing this game - so be sure to block a good chunk of it. Our adventure lasted over 2 hours.
