I finally got a chance to play Arkham Horror with some buddies last night; a great time was had by all, and we beat Nyarlathotep pretty easily.
Game specific neepery to follow; don’t feel bad if you don’t understand.
My big complaint– the game relies a lot on luck, and less on strategy.
The overall big complaint was that the boss battle was so easy (maybe Nyarlothotep’s a pushover), it might have made sense to just wait out its arrival, and fight only her, rather than running around trying to close gates.
Anyway– we had a good time, which is the point of gaming.
