“If you’re new to the game, get the revised core set. It has better components and allows for up to 4 players, otherwise you’ll need two of these”

“Best LCG I've played! This game has an incredibly unique way of telling a story that uses cards instead of a story book. Its also incredibly challenging without feeling impossible. If you want to play solo or with two players, just this box is all you'll need. But then you'll be hooked and will want to buy more packs for new investigators and scenarios. While this game is difficult to learn, once you start playing, it just flows!”

“Although this is a great game, with the release of the Revised edition core set (which doubles most of the key cards and drastically increases cardboard token counts), this version is likely only best for those who likely won't purchase any additional content and are content with the 3 scenario campaign within this box. For those looking to expand in the future, definitely opt for the Revised edition.”

“I enjoyed this more than the board game version and with the amount of expansions we'll be able to keep playing for years”

“Fun card game. Scenarios aren't terribly interesting [heard you need expansions to get the full experience]. Not much replayability other than doing the same scenarios with other investigators. If cheap enough, it's worth a few plays.”

“A steep learning curve for someone not exposed to advanced rules in something like Dungeons & Dragons. The instructions are pretty good. Tons of additional resources you can find online. Not an easy game to win even on easy mode, but very fun.”
