This has been 6 years for you since seeing this video but does the Antarctica side board only get played when the players play the Antarctica prelude or can you add the side board into every game??

@@QuiGonJack10 The only Rules as Written way to use the Antarctica sideboard are 1) when the Rise of the Elder Things is the Ancient One card you are battling or 2) with the "Doomsayer from Antarctica" sideboard. You can pick your prelude anytime your want, by the rules. My group does play with "multiple Preludes" house rules sometimes, so with a little tweaking you can play with Antarctica even if you want to see other Preludes. The Prelude does give you good, productive reasons to go so far out of the way down on those sideboard spaces. Otherwise, the sideboard can be a source of more far-away gates, so be aware of that. (Although with some highly rewarding sideboard spaces, if you used them right) My group has even done a "multi-prelude card" where we purposefully used all 3 sideboards, from 3 different expansions. But we are a little crazy, and have played literally hundreds of sessions of Eldritch Horror, so a little variety and extra challenge is nice.

@@ericjohnson2832 Ok, thank you. Our group just bought the expansion and it’s coming soon! Are the ancient ones in this expansion hard?? Because we had a though time with yig and the lost in time and space effect

@@QuiGonJack10 Actually, from my experience, the Rise of the Elder Things Ancient One is the *easiest* AO, out of ALL the expansions. You have to solve 4 mysteries to win, but you start at high Doom, and have extra large Mythos deck, so there is time as long as you don't dwaddle. Just remember that you can use the sideboard effect to spend 2 Acquire Assets successes to travel to the Miskatonic Outpost. And the Elder Things let you jump to the Plateau of Leng when you close a gate. Plus, the Plateau has an effect to jump to gate spots. Use this mobility, it's a great strategic advantage. Ithaqua is notably tougher. He can be a little frustrating, making you take repeated Focus actions to avoid Hypothermia. Sometimes you just have to take the Hypothermia for action efficiency. I found you learn how to fight Ithaqua after multiple plays, then he gets easier, once you know how he works, and understand his mysteries.

@@ericjohnson2832 Awesome!! Thank you!!

Nah, many things in Eldritch horror correspond with that mechanic. If you just add focus tokens, it is not that interesting

Кирилл Дектярев yeah but the extra stuff are usually beneficial so you don't miss anything crucial. I added the focus mechanic since day one of vanilla EH and especially if you only have the Forsaken Lore expansion tha makes the game harder is a good way to mitigate that difficulty. I am using the eldritch tokens btw that are plentiful.

I called Fantasy Flight a few days ago and the customer service rep told me EH probably wouldn't be available again until around June. He said a few months for printing then another few months for the packing and shipping. I'd recommend checking your local book stores and/or comic book stores. That's how I found a copy.

Scott Puckett hey thanks for the info.

Amazon seems to have it still, for a solid price. That's how I got my copy

If you live in the Los Angeles area Aero Hobbies, Game empire, and Nexgen games have the game.
