1/6/2023 0 Comments Elder sign vs arkham horrorIt takes one game to fully understand all of the rules and nuances of Elder Sign… maybe one additional game to understand how to best utilize spells and items. Once comfortable, the game takes me about 10 minutes to set up and under an hour to play, whether that’s alone or with 4 others. That first game was won in under an hour, albeit with a few mismanaged rules. But the rulebook is concise and helpful, so my first game started around 30 minutes after opening the box (this was a solo game, so there was no rules explaining to be handled). And due to time constraints alone I tend to play it more than big sis… these are the impressions it’s made on me:Įven as the “simpler” game, there are tons of small pieces here several pages of cardboard to punch on first opening and several separate decks of cards to wrangle. Elder Sign seems designed to slide comfortably into those one-hour weeknight timeslots where its big sister can’t be considered. As much as I’ve made myself appreciate Arkham Horror, under the best of circumstances I’ll find time to play a complete game once or twice a month. Elder Sign really appealed to me as a means to experience the Arkham Horror theme and atmosphere without the Arkham Horror time commitment and abuse.
