Something different – Fantasy Flight Games is a staple among
the genre board players, one I am not really a party too. Eldritch Horror is a
game that pits you and posse against a worldwide evil that threatens our way of
life. The horror is real, entangled in mystery, puzzles and unimaginable
fright.
Eldritch Horror is a clue-based game requiring the player to
gather clues and solving mysteries across the globe to uncover the devilish
plot that threatened humanity. Seems simple enough but the clues are just that,
clues not necessarily pieces to your overall success. It is how you read, play
on and decipher the clues to solve the overall mystery.
This is not to say that they game is not winnable, it is. It
is to say however that there are varying ending to the game based on your game
play and those on your team. The character you are and the advantages and
disadvantages that character gives you. Encounters during game play will take a
toll on your character and if you are not careful he or she will be removed
from the game, placing you on the sidelines.
A fun multi-player game is Eldritch Horror (does have a
single player option). It’s a fun time killer on those days or nights you just
want to relax with some friends. If board games are your thing and you enjoy
some horrific world domination – a solid mystery requiring some thought and
strategy, then take Eldritch Horror for a roll.
