Pros

The storytelling in this game is amazing. If you're a fan of lovecraft, card games, or coop games this is a great pick! There's always barkham asylum which is a cute spinoff of this game that is with dogs and cats. The forgotten age is also more tomb-...  Read More

This scenario is definitely one of the funnest in the dunwich cycle. It's challenging, its interesting, but it can be cumbersome. Much to our chagrin, our cats love it too and often cause havoc at the table.

Price


You get good value for the price and it's a very fun experience.


I found that i enjoyed it so much, that it was very much worth investing in more.


Can be expensive because to get the most out of it, you need one of the complete adventure cycles that can run over $100.


Kudos to ffg for creating a game with more female protagonists than male this game is great value if you can get it for half of...  Read More
