First Game of Arkham Horror

I've only played three turns of this game but I already love it. It heavy going trying to work out the rules and remember everything that's going on but the game rewards you for the effort with a level of flavour and atmosphere that's usually reserved for role playing games.

The base game has a heap of stuff and you could easily play it and never get the same game twice. But those of you who know me and my addictive nature won't be surprised to know I've already ordered the Kingsport Horror expansion which adds another board and another metric ton of cards and tokens. I think it'll fit on my table. Speaking of tables it's currently taking up the entire kitchen table so I'll probably have until lunch to finish up or pack up, I'll try to take some photos of the game before either happens.

I should also mention that the game has great solo play, which is fortunate as my kids are too young for the subject matter and my wife would never play this.
