Unseen Forces, an expansion for Elder Sign, brings a fresh challenge to the
efforts of the investigators in this cooperative dice game set in the world of
H.P. Lovecraft's weird fiction. The museum harbors artifacts that draw the
attention of horrible beings, and the unfathomable wills of these creatures make
themselves known in the form of blessings and curses. Four new Ancient Ones,
eight new investigators, and several new monsters accompany the introduction of
these powers, and the entrance of the museum has been remodeled thanks to four
Entrance Cards, which give investigators more ways to spend their turn if they'd
rather not attempt an adventure.
Blessings and curses work their power in Unseen Forces through the
introduction of a white and a black die. A blessed investigator gains the
Blessed card and adds a white die to the player's dice pool, giving him an
extra icon to use to complete his tasks. Being cursed forces a player to take
the Cursed card and roll the black die along with the rest of his dice pool. If
the player rolls any die that matches the result on the black die, he must
discard both from his pool immediately.
Blessings and curses don't keep building up on an investigator. Any blessed
character who receives a second blessing can draw a spell card, a clue, or a
common or a unique item card. Cursed investigators, on the other hand, are
walking a very fine line. If an investigator has the misfortune of a second
curse being inflicted, he is immediately devoured! Seek out blessings and avoid
being cursed, and you may have a chance of stopping the Ancient Ones…
