We enjoyed playing Arkham Horror 3e. The game takes forever so we reserved one evening with warm dinner, red wine and 4h of board gaming. This seems to be a new Christmas tradition I hope we will be able to keep. We beat the Veils scenario only because of Ms Baker‘s ability to channel remnants for her spell to attack the enemy. #arkhamhorror #boardgames

The new "Arkham Horror RPG" is such a beautiful book, with a wonderful layout and gorgeous illustrations. The only thing that I don't like about it, is the system :/

You essentially have a finite pool of dice per player that you're expending per scene (and that recharges once a scene is complete). Once you run out of dice, you can't really do anything any more during that scene.

I used to play #rpgs when I was young, late 70s early 80s, but we would also play the occasional #BoardGame. #Talisman was a favourite, #MagicRealm, #CosmicEncounters and others saw some play as well. A few years ago I played #Dungeoneer with a friend, but I've now discovered that there are lots of games that you can play solo, something that will likely suit me. This was incredibly rare back then!
I just ordered #ArkhamHorror the card game and #KinfireDelve for some solo fun.

We were so close :(
We were defeated in the final scenario of the Path to Carcosa campaign (Dim Carcosa) in Arkham Horror. We almost beat Horace the Unmentionable though - it was the last turn before the final agenda flipped, we had H down to zero health, we just needed to "know the secret" to defeat him and we figured we knew where to find that, but it was heavily defended. But some unlucky draws from the bag and bad encounter cards foiled us at the end - we had one clue to reveal and we could have got him but we didn't make it. So the realm of Carcosa merged with the realm of Earth, and Horace (well, I guess I can actually say Hastur now) rules them both.

Still, I think Jacqueline Fine and William Yorick gave it a good college try, and we did really well across the whole campaign - though at the end we both ended up with a LOT of negative sanity! But alas, we too have joined the despairing inhabitants of Carcosa, doomed to wander the shifting streets of the city forevermore... #boardgames #arkhamHorror

We made it to Carcosa! Once again we survived Scenario VII (Black Stars Rise) by the skin of our teeth having made a bit of a miscalculation at the beginning because we didn't read all the location cards and didn't realise we needed to collect some clues to enter a critical location! But we clawed our way back and by the end of it Jacqui was literally half-dead and on her last threads of sanity, but we made it through the storm and onto the shores of Hali! Now we just have to find Horace (still not allowed to say his name!) and stop him... #arkhamHorror #pathtoCarcosa #boardgames

We just finished Scenario 6: The Pallid Mask, another cracking scenario from The Path to Carcosa campaign for #ArkhamHorror LCG! And in one sitting too, which is rare! We barely made it out by the skin of our teeth again, fending off all sorts of undead horrors in the catacombs of Paris (including a particularly terrifying spectre)! But once again both Jacqui Fine and William Yorick survived the experience and so we inch ever closer to confronting Horace the Unmentionable (whose name I literally can't say correctly or my character will lose sanity, so that's what I'm calling him now :D ).

I can definitely see why this campaign is so popular and highly rate - it's challenging but not impossible, the story is great, the scenarios are really cleverly designed, and the antagonists are really interesting! And you can't really go wrong with the Big H :). #boardgames
