About Sinister Tidings

Here you will find a collage of likes and dislikes from RTS’ Spyder Collins. The primary focus is to bring fun and indie flashes of art and not so mainstream artists. There is nothing fancy, revealing, political or otherwise world shaping. Just things, introductions, reminiscing and fun in the world of literature, art and music, to which I hope you enjoy and find some pleasure in.

Gaming minute: Eldritch Horror


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.
