Arkham Horror 3rd Edition

The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies, drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It’s a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the War to End All Wars.

Throw your old Akrham and Eldritch horror collection in the trash boys and upgrade to the all new "streamlined" version,

I already have 2nd edition and Eldritch, so...I don’t think so.

Remember when FFG had exciting new game releases and tried exciting new things? Pepperidge Farm remembers

Not really digging the modular board. Doesn't make much sense thematically and just seems sort of shoehorned in there.

Wasn’t interested until I saw Nikki Valens. This is worth looking at.

I can’t believe people are asking for upgrade kits. Yeah,
There is one. It’s a $64.95 purchase.

Who am I kidding. It's Nikki Valens' Arkham Horror. I'll be buying it.

I guess this is the secret project she couldn't tell anyone about.

I'm not sure I like the way your objective is slowly revealed. I'm just thinking of Mansions of Madness 1st Edition and how it didn't really do much for me. Maybe they've figured out a better way since then.

I'll definitely want to try it out though.

The new art looks good.

Wah, loving the board! Looking at the card holder, is it one of those "draw the bottom card" decks?

I'm thinking it sounds a bit like Arkham Horror the Card Game. You start off not knowing what's going on, but as you reach certain goals, and make different choices, more is revealed.

I can't wait to start reading what a shitpile game that Eldritch Horror is now that its not the latest thing.

Not a fan of scenarios vs 2nds sandboxy nature and prefer an old-fashioned board over tiles. Not looking for another FFG money-drain either right now. At best I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic about this. Will wait for some post-release reviews.

Normally I would be rolling my eyes, but Arkham Horror is for me the prime candidate for a new edition. I've played the second edition a lot until the rules procedure and the expansion content became more than I wanted to deal with. If the two options are to just let Eldritch Horror replace it or to keep it going, then a reboot is probably the way to go. The original game is just so over-complicated, regardless of whatever rose-colored glasses you wear. Definitely keeping an eye on this.

Someone resurrect Frank. We're going to need another flowchart.

I'm open to it. Definitely a wait and see though.

One of the things Arkham Horror does right - especially compared to the arguably better game Eldritch Horror - is that it feels like a place. It's an actual town with people and locations, wonders and horrors. And all the side boards also have their own unique flavour. I'm not seeing how a modular board will allow for that same feeling of being grounded somewhere. I mean, part of being in a "real" place is that different locations tend to be the same place in relation to others.

But I'm definitely excited to find out more about it. The card game is really good, and while I love and adore Arkham Horror 2nd ed, I wouldn't mind a bit less bloat.

Lots of things to love, except for the Lovecraft. It's just so over-done.

My custom 2nd edition box, made for me by my dad, almost guarantees I'm not going near this. I don't want that replaced.

Agreed, the hexagonal modular puzzle piece boards are a turn-off.

This looks like one of those games aimed at the younger set, where if you're over 30 you probably aren't interested, but under 30 and you might be interested. Like, "This ain't yo dad's Arkham Horror, fam!"
