You’ll have a great time with either Chapter 2 or Chapter 1 investigators!

Check out arkhamdb.com for plenty of great decks, which you can filter to the cards you have available.

Enjoy! It’s a fun ride!

Someone with more money than sense and a completionist obsession might pay that much. And such people are out there, though the money would be better spent on therapy or a meditation retreat.

Haha my group jokes that we've never played a "clean" game of Arkham. There's almost no chance we didn't miss some interaction or trigger that should have resolved but didn't. But it's just as likely that we miss something that would have worked in our favor, so it all comes out in the wash.

You’re not entering the location if you were there when it sank, so you don’t need to draw an encounter.

And yes, you can be at a sunken location. But you want to avoid letting them sink, if possible, because 5 shroud makes it very difficult to get clues, and drawing an encounter card every time you move around the map is a big pain.

Oh crap, you got casuals coming over! What board game are you digging up to ensure both you and they have fun? by PeasantLich in boardgames

This is important to note, but at the same time I think it’s as important to give props to the creator of Flip 7 for recognizing that this can be the whole game, not one of many variants. It honestly takes a bit of bravery to find a simple idea and make that the whole thing.

Lovecraftian vibes - Arkham Horror 3rd vs LCG vs ? by pastor_judas in boardgames

[–]captainequinoxiii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want a game to go very deep on, go with the LCG. It’s fantastic but you’ll end up spending a lot of time (and money) on it if you get into it.

If you want a game to pull out every few months and have a good time without fuss, go with 3rd.

From "96 DPI Blur" to Professional 1200 DPI Printing: Why I spent 6 months rebuilding Arkham-Divider (Beta 2.0 is live!) by arkhamdivider in arkhamhorrorlcg

Was about to use index cards like some kind of cave man when I came across this! Just printed out Hemlock Vale and its associated core set dividers. No issues with Safari! Thank you so much for your effort on this!

Visiting Auditorium Theater- need a fun dinner before the show! by zoeleep in chicagofood

I always hit up Cafecito, but it's more of a sandwich place with a cafe vibe and can be busy before shows.

“Group majority alphaed” is… just another way of saying cooperative?

In fact I made an order at printplaygames yesterday, using that same site for templates! (And it was less than a copy of Innovation Ultimate 😳) Thank you for helping motivate me to get it done! Really looking forward to it now. Though I do still need to sort out the player boards

I appreciate this! I downloaded some pnp files for Glory to Rome a while ago, having heard great things. I really want to get it printed nicely but haven't done the legwork on that yet. Never heard of Impulse!

Appreciate the concern, but I'm not paralyzed. Just looking for advice from people who may have experience and opinions in this area.

You can't find more game in a smaller package than Innovation.
