  • Tom, great review as always, but can you explain how does the "cooperation without colleboration" mechanic in this game any different than the one in SoC (which features high up in your top 100)?

    It seems to me all the issues you described with this mechanic apply to SoC as well ("...On Collaboration...").

    How are they different? Not trying to troll, just to understand.

  • Because in this game, there is a VERY important piece of information that you simply can't share with the other players. So while you can cooperate in every other way, it feels a bit jilted.

  • Shut the door! ha ha.

  • Shut the door!

  • I agree with Tom's assessment, but, You can share that knowledge of the portalsand the game is tough enough that it doesn't suffer from it, I think. The last game we played we lost on the turn we were going to win on, and we were sharing portal information. I think you can safely ignore that rule, and it still has plenty of tension and challenge.

  • 0:33 shut the door! Again!

  • arkham horror made lite

  • That game had me completely bought. Then the hidden information thing came up.

    I'm no longer interested.

  • @thedicetower That mechanic struck me as a major Murphy's Rule's as well 'Did they REALLY think this rule through?" moment.

  • Ok, we played this FIVE times over the weekend and we lost ALL five games. I really like the way the game plays, but damn, its next to impossible to win (from what we experienced).

  • at 4:17 was that a racial slur? JUST KIDDING!
