Read Time:4 Minute, 40 Second
Here at ThyGeekdom, it’s fair to say we love horror board games. From Betrayal at House on the Hill to Call of Cthulhu, we can’t get enough of spine-chilling, blood-pumping fun. Arkham Horror is our latest board game obsession and one you won’t want to miss. In other news, Marvel Comics is celebrating 85 years of epicness and we’re excited about special anniversary editions of the Marvel Legends Series action figures. And did we mention we have a box set of Hayao Miyazaki’s incredible fantasy manga? There’s a lot to share; let’s get into it.
Arkham Horror Board Game, 3rd Edition from Fantasy Flight Games
Like Call of Cthulhu, Arkham Horror is based on H.P. Lovecraft’s eldritch tales. It’s a cooperative board game with four unique scenarios in which players strive to defeat the Ancient Ones lurking just beyond reality’s edge. The game’s narrative is dynamic and differs depending on the characters you choose and their skills, abilities, and health and sanity levels. Guided by the scenario’s codex cards, players move around the beautifully designed and detailed board, gathering clues and fighting monsters while clinging to their sanity. The 3rd edition, released in 2018, gives Arkham Horror a modern twist with a more elegant game design, faster set-up, and cleverer and more strategic mechanics.
