Arkham Horror

44 out of 76 gamers thought this was helpful

This game isn’t for everyone, but the people who it is for love it. You play as investigators who run around the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts trying to gather clues and gear, avoiding or fighting strange monsters, and then traveling through dimensional gates to other worlds in order that you can close these gates and prevent an Old Evil God from consuming you and the entire planet. There is a lot going on in this game and the rules are sometimes difficult to get a handle on. There are many FAQ’s out there as well as forums that you can ask for help on in case things get real bad. Once you have a good grasp on the rules the game starts to shine. There is tons of mood and setting in this game and that part of it is great. It is unfortunate that it sort of devolves into a dice fest, but it is still an enjoyable one. Again, not for everyone, but can be a great experience for those that enjoy it.

Pandemic is a co-op game about curing diseases around the globe, which take on the form of little wooden cubes. The way the diseases spread across the board is a great mechanic. The real game is in working together and making best use of your own special abilities. It does suffer the same flaw that most co-op games suffer from which is it can be ‘controlled’ by one overbearing person who takes everyone’s turns for them instead of letting everyone play. I’ve played this game a ton and i would play this game with someone who has never played it before to teach them or if someone else wanted to play it, but i don’t think i would ask that this game be played otherwise just because i’ve played it so much already and there are a ton of games out there that i HAVEN’T played yet! still an amazing game though.
