Arkham Horror reviews

This a fantastic game, whether you play cooperatively with a group of friends or even by yourself on a winter's evening. The essential premise of the game is to use investigator characters to prevent the Great Old Ones from infesting the world. Because each game involves such an enormous amount of variety, the game has an extraordinarily high replay value that makes it worth every cent.

Components are of excellent quality (there are over 700 pieces!) and the rules are beautifully presented. The board and all of the cards are fantastically illustrated (like the box art) lending the game an incredible Lovecraftian flavor. Highly recommended for all lovers of Lovecraftian horror and/or engaging cooperative board games.

Arkham Horror has a lot of rules and things to think about while playing, yet the stages of the game are straight forward and easy to follow with common sense :) very fun game – very difficult to win. LOTS of monsters everywhere, but that's what makes it fun ;) great game to play alone… if that's what you're into. Time ranges from 2 hours (excl. setup) to well over 4 hours!

The theme of this game is incredible, particularly if you like horror. It captures the feel of being constantly in trouble very well. The sole flaw is that you can somewhat learn to beat the game, I'm told the expansions fix this.

This game is a must have for Lovecraft fans, it looks amazing and is good fun to play. The only slight downside, it does come with around 700 pieces. This is not a problem for me, but others may find this to be a little much. Other than that note, top notch game.

I bought this game about a year ago. The quality of all the pieces and the in-depth story and events that happen throughout the game make it worth the cost. Though there is a lot of reading, to begin with, once you have it sorted you can start tackling this hard game. As an added bonus as long as you have one or more experienced players in the game, then this game is very easy for new players to join in as well.
