Such a great game. And amazing table presence to boot.

That's pretty much my feelings of Asmodee too.

I'm not sure how I feel about this news. Except I feel a little more sure this will deliver...but not confident it'll be 100% what we saw during the campaign.

I wish those in my group like it more. So it doesn't get played much at all.

Finished and packed my first game of Voidfall by Mindclash Games. Loved it, which is no surprise since I love all their games. Cannot wait to play it again...even though I came in last.

Got in a game of Eldriych Horror, we were successful against Cthulhu. Then we stuck to the Arkham Files with Arkham Horror Lovecraft Letter. Enjoyed both games.

No pick of Eldritch Horror.

Watching the best Halloween episode ever made. After watching this for years, it continues to be hilarious.

Loved it! I'm already scooping up goodies for the next couple of campaigns. As for the house, it is just charred remains now.

First game of Arkham Horror LCG down. Really enjoyed the first scenario, and we were successful! I'm already looking forward to the next game.

A friend is coming over tomorrow to dive headfirst into Arkham Horron LCG. Any tips for first-time players?

I enjoy it, but nobody else im my group was a huge fan. Good game, best game of all time? I'm not convinced.

I hope you and your group enjoy it.

I've been experiencing issues with the app and haven't been able to access it all weekend. But we had friends over on Monday for Thanksgiving. We played A Touch of Evil, Cadaver, and the It expansion for Beyrayal. Unfortunately, we couldn't figure out the haunt

Play it now! It's so good. When it's just the two of us, we try to get a game of it in.

A friend came over this afternoon, and we got some great games played. We kicked it off with Canopy, enjoyable, but probably not something I'd come back to. Then Nassau came out feeling the same with this one. This is followed by Elder Sign and our new favourite Kelp.

That is my problem, I'd prefer to only go done one of these rabbit holes...but it might end up being two.

This does not help...it's just going to make the bank account disappear 😜

That seems excessive. I thought it was supposed be about half an hourish max.

Good to know.

He just couldn't wait for us to the toy out from under the couch. Now he needs help getting out from under the couch himself.

No game night tonight. Instead we went to a wedding. But looking forward to having a friend over this week for a few games.

This is one of my all time favourites.
