What is Arkham Horror (Third Edition) about?
The city of Arkham is threatened by terrifying creatures from beyond space and time. It’s up to the players to team up and stop the approaching doom. The ancient evils will rise up and destroy not just Arkham, but the whole world if left unchecked.
The Arkham Horror game is cooperative. It’s a team game and all players win or lose together. In this game, each player controls an intrepid investigator who’s become aware of the growing threat. In the city, the investigators encounter mundane and supernatural places, people, and creatures. Ultimately, they hope to thwart the Ancient Ones through these adventures by gaining clues and resources.
The game is pretty lengthy. If you are only playing 1-2 player or 2 handed solo, the game is about 2 hours not counting set up or take down. 4 to 6 players are about a 3 to 4 hour session.
Game is pretty deep and complex and takes a while to set up but it is fun and entertaining if you have the time.
