“This is a solid 2 player set and you are getting everything for the first campaign. The downsides are the cards for all the starter decks are mixed up and campaign cards are all in the same bag, so some organizing will be necessary before the first game.”

“Absolutely go for revised if you can't pick up two of these for cheap. Snagged a couple on sale for the spare encounter sets and couldn't be happier.”

“An amazing LCG with strong thematic storytelling. I highly recommend if you’re a solo player.”

“I got this at a stupendous discount and it's easily one of the best-value card game purchases I've made. However, be advised that this version of the core set only comes with half the cards you need to build functional decks, and does not include a bag to draw chaos tokens from, so definitely order two”

“I purchased 1 box during a sale, but one copy only lets you build decks for two of the PCs. A 2nd copy lets you build the other 2 PCs and duplicates of monster decks you can use in the expansions. On sale, it's a great deal if you can get 2 boxes, or just buy the much more expensive 2nd edition.”

“Arkham Horror LCG is an excellent card game that really gives you a sense that your investigator is moving through a Lovecraftian nightmare scenario and hoping to survive until the finish and save all of humanity. The core gameplay is wonderful and hugely varied with different investigators providing a lot of opportunities for unique gameplay strategies. My only concern is that the monetary investment to experience more of what this game has to offer can be quite formidable, so be wary of that before you try something that might eat up some of your discretionary income.”

“I got this on sale. there's no way I would pay what that want full price. The components don't justify the high cost. However for how cheap I got it I am happy with it. It is challenging and fun and has more replayablity than I expected with just he core set. Playing at 2 players. If you play with more players you'd likely want a second set.”
