Pros & Cons
Pros
It's like getting to play that and a tabletop board game at the same time. I worry that having a full complement of players might make for a lot of down time between turns. This game is absolutely a time commitment. It's a euro-style strategy game, wh... Read More
Unfathomable is a hidden traitor game based on battlestar galactica. The gist is that you're on a broken down ship, trying to get various parts of it fixed and operational. But horrific mer-creatures have body snatched people on board and you need to ... Read More
It's better to have a clear reference in the rules booklet. It helps with not just setting up, but understanding the purpose of each piece. The game is a bit hard to describe other than the four components. There's a quick history.
It is a tight game where you may/not have someone trying to defeat you. As the game continues, there are more challenges to overcome and it is balanced well to give a satisfying outcome regardless of whether you lose or not. With the remaining five ch... Read More
The deep ones and mother hydra are creepy and detailed. It's dripping with lovecraftian theme.
Cons
The game came opened, used, and the box was damaged. This game features a confused character with a ludicrous bio.
Highlights
Quality
The components are excellently designed and made.
The board is sturdy, the components are all good quality, and the minis.

It is basically the original bsg game, reskinned and streamlined in the arkham horror universe.
Price
It's hard to find and expensive to buy used if you can find it (like $100 - $150.

Shipping
The game arrived mint and well packaged with no visible flaw caused by shipping.
The basic premise is you have a group trying to get the ship to safety and others trying to prevent that, there is a lot of dec... Read More
Winning is just as much getting the ship fixed as it is surviving.
Update: amazon quickly replaced the faulty game.
Packaging/appearance
The game comes in a nice box and such, what you would expect from fantasy flight.
The box is quite large, fyi, in case space is a concern: i's like a normal ticket to ride box but deep and beefy.
Competitiveness
)comparing this game to battlestar galactica: mechanically, it's very similar.
While the game has a lot of depth and complexity it is highly dependent upon the people playing, very similar to among us.
To be blunt, i've never played the old bg game so i can't directly compare the two.
If you have played more complex games (even something like 7 wonders or catan), this might be okay - it's not that heavy compar... Read More
