Eldritch Horror - Bringing Arkham Horror To The Real World

Fans of Cthulhu rejoice!  Fantasy Flight Games plans to release Eldritch Horror sometime in the last three months of 2013. Set in the same universe as Arkham Horror, Elder Sign and Mansion of Madness, Eldritch Horror has 1 - 8 players assuming the role of a world-traveling investigator working to solve the mysteries surrounding one of the Ancient Ones. There are 12 different investigators to choose from, each with differing abilities, and several different Ancient Ones, each with its own Mystery and Research deck. Players work cooperatively as they fight monsters, search for clues and sometimes even go out on expeditions, as they attempt to save civilization and prevent global destruction by one of the Ancient Ones.

Eldritch Horror shares some of Arkham Horror's mechanics, but adds a few new twists. It is not an expansion to Arkham Horror or a reboot of a previously released title, but a separate game of its own that takes place in our world (click the image of the board). Eldritch Horror will feature over 250 tokens and more than 300 cards. It will also have three levels of difficulty, allowing players to customize their level of gameplay.

If you are in Puerto Rico, Bad DM recommends you visit The Gaming Pit, in Guaynabo, or Paladin Books & Games, in Isabela and Mayaguez, to reserve/preorder your copy of Eldritch Horror.
