Review: Excellent game! If worried about length keep reading. - I have read a lot of reviews about this game, so let me discuss some of the main concerns people have and why I don’t think it is as bad as some people make it seem. Let’s start by discussing the length of the game. If you are only playing 1-2 player or 2 handed solo, the game is about 2 hours not counting set up or take down. I think a 2 hour game is not that bad. However, once you play 4 to 6 player you are heading towards a long 3 to 4 hour session. However, you can easily shorten the game by tweaking the amount of clues or doom that are required to advance to the next step. Also, you can swap out a doom token for a blank token to make the game a little easier, which will shorten the game. This is called Story Mode which was officially introduced in a later expansion. Making these 2 modifications is great for a 4 player casual game night. I still don’t recommend more than 4 players unless you have to. Second, some people argue the game is not as replayable due to the story driven scenarios. I play Mansions of Madness and Arkham Horror the card game many times. It is no different. Sure, the first playthrough may be more exciting since you do not know what to expect story wise, but each play through is unique and plays out differently with so many variables that change from game to game. It is like saying all board games without a story (example: Pandemic) are not replayable. Makes no sense. Lastly, some reviews complain that there is a lot of upkeep in between actions. After the player action phase is the monster phase. You just move the monsters, deal damage/horror, activate ability. Takes about 10 to 20 seconds. You then do the encounter phase which I think is fun especially for a game night where other people read the encounter so no one can see the outcome if they choose A or B. I don’t really think of this phase as upkeep. The last phase is to draw tokens which will place doom on locations, spawn monsters, spawn clues. These are the 3 most negative things I see people say about the game. If they don’t seem that bad to you, then I think you should get the game! Review: Tricky to learn but once you do it's apparently addicting to play - This is a bit of an odd review. I purchased this as a gift for my brother who is currently serving time in the slammer I guess you could say. He was able to get it approved and its the one of the ways I can give him holiday gifts. He said that it was a bit complicated at first to learn and all the other guys almost ran out of patience to learn it but once they did they were hooked and play it all the time. Now it is one of their favorite ways of entertainment and I'm really glad it brought them all some joy in there. (for those wondering I promise they are not having fun all the time and spend a lot of time doing therapy and group sessions on top of book work and ofcourse chores and what not. A little joy for them is a good thing.) ## Features - THRILLING GAME OF COSMIC HORROR: A dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the thresholds between worlds. Only a handful of investigators stand against the horrors. Will they prevail? - SCARY STRATEGY GAME: Players take on the role of Arkham investigators as they explore the streets of the city and work together to save humanity from unknowable horrors. Stop occult rituals and destroy alien creatures before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined dominion. - COOPERATIVE MYSTERY GAME: Players work as a team to gather clues, defeat terrifying monsters and find tools and allies to stand any hope of defeating the ancient creatures that exist just beyond the veil of our reality. - HIGHLY VARIABLE: Inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, each unique scenario puts you in the shoes of an Arkham investigator. Choose one of 12 unique investigators, each with their own abilities, items and backstory. Branching narrative paths make each scenario truly your own. No two games are ever the same. - NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND AVERAGE PLAYTIME: The Arkham Horror Board Game collection of scary games for game night is designed for 1 to 6 players and is suitable for ages 14 and older. Average game time is approximately 2 to 3 hours. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07G3Y95R9 | | Age Range Description | Adult , Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #114,338 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,759 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Asmodee | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Package Type | Reinforced Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,130 Reviews | | Edition | Third Edition | | Educational Objective | Develop teamwork, critical thinking, and strategic planning skills | | Estimated Playing Time | 2 hours | | Game Mechanics | Cooperative | | Genre | Fantasy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00841333107147 | | Included Components | Tokens, Cards; Plastic stands; tiles | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions | 11.63 x 11.63 x 2.88 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 11.61"L x 11.61"W | | Item Type Name | board game | | Item Weight | 1 kg | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Asmodee | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 180 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168 | | Manufacturer Part Number | AHB01 | | Material Type | Cardboard | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 168 | | Model Number | AHB01 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 1 to 6 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Third Edition | | Size | Standard | | Subject Character | Investigator | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Horror | | UPC | 841333107147 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Fantasy Flight Games FFGAHB01 Arkham Horror Third Edition, Multicolor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Fnw-NNDcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent game!

I purchased this as a gift for my brother who is currently serving time in the slammer I guess you could say. He was able to get it approved and its the one of the ways I can give him holiday gifts. He said that it was a bit complicated at first to learn and all the other guys almost ran out of patience to learn it but once they did they were hooked and play it all the time.

(for those wondering I promise they are not having fun all the time and spend a lot of time doing therapy and group sessions on top of book work and ofcourse chores and what not. A little joy for them is a good thing.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome game! *by A***R on January 3, 2023* My husband and I love this game! It's immersive, complex, and unfolds differently each time we play. I love that it's collaborative (players are on the same team), but still a challenge to win. We always feel like we're snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. It's a longer game (took us 3-4 hours with 5 players, some who'd played before, others who hadn't) but the time will fly by for the right group of people! If you enjoy D&D or Betrayal, you'll like this game. If you're a novice board game player, it may be slow going at first (unless you're playing with someone more experienced). The rules are complex, each character has different abilities, and there are many game pieces and mechanics to remember. You also need a player to act as a GM (game master) and run the game in addition to acting as a player. This is definitely one of those "you need to play it to get the hang of it" kind of games. But once you do, it's wicked fun! ## Frequently Bought Together - Arkham Horror 3rd Edition , Mystery /Strategy Game | Cooperative Board Game for Adults and Family| Ages 14+ | 1-6 Players | Average Playtime 2-3 Hours | Made by Fantasy Flight Games - Arkham Horror The Dead of Night Board Game EXPANSION - New Scenarios, Investigators, and Horrors!
