Arkham Horror LCG Review (Revised Core Set) — Help My Wallet?
868Fantasy Flight Games has released a new revised core set for the Arkham Horror card game! This Living Card Game is constantly printing new cards in a unique blend of role playing and deck builder. In classic lovecraftian board game fashion, 1-4 players will each choose an investigator and scenario. The main win condition goal won't be known yet, as you'll have to complete objectives from act cards. Turn after turn, you will perform actions that will eventually progress the scenario and draw encounter cards along the way. As always, flavor text in on point here, monsters are particularly menacing, the locations set an excellent scene, and elder signs activate awesome character abilities! The cardplay is excellent with a wide variety of ways to play around with the game's mechanics and strategize how to use your resources. However, Arkham Horror LCG only has 3 scenarios (though it's more like 2.5), and for 60 bucks, is that enough bang for your buck? And would you even prefer the card based gameplay over other lovecraftian games like Eldritch Horror or Mansions of Madness?
