FFG Eldritch Horror Expansion Forsaken Lore

This expansion represents great value for money. The sturdy little box comes complete with much welcome additional Mystery cards for the base-game Great Old Ones, an Additional Great Old One (Yig), more Mythos Cards, Encounters, Conditions, Items and Artifacts. I have played two games with this expansion and they have been really disimilar despite using the same Old One. The quality of the set is exceptional as is generally the way nowadays with FFG, but the cards do seem to be slightly thinner than those in the base set. Once they are sleeved this is imperceptable and to be honest I may be being overly critical. This gets a big 5 stars from me as it adds so much to an already great game. If you have the base set and want to reinvigorate it, or if you are thinking of buying the main game, I would recommend grabbing a copy of this expansion. Well done FFG - keep them coming!

Excellent communication and delivery.

Great expansion to the game, Yig adds in a great old one especially for players who like fighting characters as Yig spans a lot of stuff to kill which is a nice change to the other old ones you have to face. These small box expansions give you loads for your money compared to the larger expansions so Ive bought all of them. Each one gives you new characters usually, along with new encounter cards and items to add a bit more variety. If you play eldritch often like we do I would buy all the small expansions as it add lots of bang for your buck.

It's a great expansion. It gives you a lot more encounter card for all the locations and the GOO (Great Old Ones). Well worthwhile expansion.

Loads of new cards really add to the replay value More clue encounters for each old one More missions A couple more characters and loads more general encounters I've purposely not looked at any of them yet so they can surprise me as they turn up The only thing I'd have liked that wasn't in is a new old one But you can't have it all and this box is fully packed with goodies I look forward to seeing how the new cards kill me

Makes the game a lot better, especially for frequent players. There's just not enough encounter cards in the base set, and most of this pack really should have been in the original game. Still, it's a fantastic game that this essential pack only makes better.

Eldritch Horror has 2 types of expansions - small boxes and big boxes. From what I have discovered the small boxes increase the value of the game while the big boxes increase the size of the game. big box -> 2 ancient ones with additional cards, locations etc. small boxes => 1 ancient one, no location, many more cards for each deck. To me the small boxes have a great value and this particular one has the biggest of them all. If you are looking for something cheap to extend your Eldritch game with additional mechanics and more cards -this is the 1st one you want to buy. Then in order get all small boxes and you will have an amazing eldritch experience. If you want to increase the time played and somewhat spice up the game buy a big box expansion :)

Excellent expansion,and I would also say essential if you intend to play the game more than a few times.Adds a lot of depth to an already great game.

A must for Eldritch Horror fans, expands the oringinal game to a new level. Please note that this expansion reprint is a couple of weeks away from shipping (as of 08/12/15). So wait a while instead of paying stupid prices for it.

A good expansion to refresh the game after playing multiple times. Does not add new mechanics or rules just adds cards to the different card piles and a new ancient one along with more monsters.

As always, an Eldritch Horror expansion is first rate in quality and engaging to add to the core game!!

I quickly go addicted to this game, games are long and VERY HARD, expect one win out of ten games. But iits co-op and its soooo fun!! Its as good with two people as with 6 (a whooping 8 players is the max) bigger numbers will make the game longer. Be careful as to not lose the pieces!! This, the first expansion, is a pure fun-booster for the core game! More adventurers and encounters AND extra cards for each of the four starting elders. The new ancient one "Yig" is perhaps too hardcore!

Eldritch Horror is a great game, but the limited number of cards in the base set mean that encounters can get kind of repetitive after a few plays. Thankfully Forsaken Lore is here to correct that. This expands the decks in the base game and adds a new Ancient One, enduring replayability for a while to come.
