+Jonathan Barth I believe it was picked up at our local sewing store which doesn't have a website. Sorry!

With the expansions too 😂

I beat Azatoth on my first playthrough & have won a few other games (probably won about 50%) which were all solo... I guess you're either having a run of bad luck with the dice rolling or your strategy isn't prioritising the right things.

***** Just play 2 characters each and try that.

I wouldn't want to make a mistake in the rules, but I can't find where it's stated that you can only have 1 ticket of each type. The text on pg. 7 of the rulebook states only the following: "If the investigator is on a City space, he gains one travel ticket of his choice. The investigator cannot gain a Train Ticket unless there is at least one Train path connected to his space. Likewise, he cannot gain a Ship Ticket unless there is at least one Ship path connected to his space. If a player ever has more than two travel tickets, he must choose two to keep and discard the rest." Can you clarify where the restriction on type shows up? And I agree that the expansion adds a lot (especially in terms of replay value), but I don't think it's essential. I've played a lot of Fantasy Flight games without any expansions, and been entirely satisfied -- there are exceptions to this, but I wouldn't agree that it's the norm. - Kaja

StarlitCitadel I bought the game from it's first release and it played fine without the expansion. As with all expansions, it adds to the flavor of the game, not the game-play itself. Your can have ANY mix of the Travel Tickets ... go check out BGG or FFG forums for the right answers.

I don't own the game (want to get), but I've watched probably 20 play-throughs (at least 12 of them different people) of both the base and expansion. Every single person has said specifically that you can't have more than 1 of each ticket. Can't believe that every single one of them is wrong, though who knows if group think happens on YT, but this game clearly doesn't want you flying all over the map in one turn so I'd think that would hold. And sure, the base game looks to be a lot of fun, but this expansion clearly was "Hey, we're sorry we only gave you 10 location cards per area so here buy this expansion to make it 10x more enjoyable." I mean it was clearly stuff that should have been in the base game. FFG makes great games, but they have too many naked money grabs (from goofy card sizes to expansions like this one that should have been in the base game).

Scott Smart There's nothing worse than someone giving an opinion that doesn't have the game, hasn't played the game or bothered to go look at the free PDF rules that are available. Those people who said 1 of each ticket are wrong, end of. GO READ THE RULES YOURSELF!

Actually, there's nothing worse than self-righteous asshats on the internet who go way overboard in correcting people who made an honest mistake. Congrats, you know one thing more than I did. Wow, go get yourself a cookie. Oh, and let me know when you make an error so I can rip into you in a ridiculously over-the-top fashion. Oh, wait, you're probably perfect since people who do this generally are. Again, I've watched more full play-throughs than most people who own the game have actually played. So, everyone made a mistake. It doesn't actually hurt the game to put that rule in. Go get a life. Your first response was sufficient btw (it got posted as I was posting mine). It's your 2nd one I've got a real problem with.

+Davie Donna cheers!

Exactly my thought

I can tell this game is immersive when they require players to read text from a card....i don't recall doing that while playing mage knight or other sentinel of multiverse... and the time limit thingy is probably why they can come up with excuses to throw out more expansion for this lame game and milk more money out of people who like nothing more than throwing dices and giggling at each roll result. Totally silly game.. And look what happen after i did a review of it on bgg ? boardgamegeek.com/thread/1188831/eldritch-horror-truly-horror So many people start to jump to it's defense.... these folks are obsessed, possessed or something i tellya..

I agree with you. The setup of this game takes so long (so does Arkham) and then also, its meant to be cooperative, but if you play with a bunch of people you have to just sit and wait. For a game that takes so long to setup and with all the downtime that occurs, when I finally get to do something it isn't that thrilling for me to waste so much time. There are a ton of games that definitely bring more entertainment and in at least 1/3 of the time!

I'd like to defend the game. I think of it as a story generation game, and a good one at that. Yes it is random but that's the point, your characters go on an adventure for good or ill and things happen you can't expect. I even like it when things go horribly wrong, your character could be poisoned and arrested, devoured by demons. The game offers strategy in the way of choices - do you use your precious time and actions to close a gate to extra dimensional terror or solve a clue. Finally the game is hard, the base game without expansions almost impossibly so, and though a victory is a result of blind luck, with the nature of dice and cards, it is rare enough to be rewarding. Mostly however I think the game is about creating stories, and with the number of cards you'll never play the same story twice . It's a cooperative game so it's less about winning or losing than having fun. Enjoy it as you go insane with paranoia and hallucinations and a crippling back injury before you die !

Not my cup of tea for sure. Worst buy. I get mine for sale after one game. First game was so aweful. Set up is a mess. Read read read.. I might as well reread the entire Harry Potter series and find it more enjoyable.
