Arkham Horror

That's pretty, that's pretty generous.

We used to joke around the office about doing a, like a mashup where, twilight imperium was heading into a future where they had to face the mythos like the mythos yeah arkham horror like oh okay all the ancient ones and stuff like that i see yeah yeah like

actually mash up all the ffg stuff yeah like

where it turns from like you're no longer like the whatever the state of the galaxy is it's been established now you're defending from the outside like You know, the forces of Azathoth, the court of Azathoth coming to.

So maybe I'm just a fear monger, I guess.

So I think we can see the designers totally look back at some of their stuff and say, ooh, let's take a note from Civil War where we have the modular schemes and villains, right? And then how can we make that play out here for the Fear No Evil, which I think they did a great job in sort of like importing that modularity uh even more than what we've already had because like you said dan you can mix and match a million things now between mod sets the the scheme and then the villain um which is really cool and then they did this one thing that people have been asking for i think for a long time um Where you can fail forward in the campaign, right? You can fail a scenario and then you get the failed environment version of the right so you can move forward in the campaign and having lost a Scenario which is a lot of fun Because you know people have been asked sort of asking for that Because you know people play Arkham Horror and these other games that all do that sort of stuff.

So I think that's really cool and And I do agree.

The heroes are fun.

Yes.

Uh, and then elder sign, plus zero, choose and shuffle a card from your discard pile back into your deck.

Any investigator at your location may use this effect instead of their own elder sign effect.

Curiouser and curiouser.

So for, for a little bit of...

Like, I like her.

She seems fine.

I like the ability to, like, flex some stats around, and then she just has straight-up recursion in her elder sign.

That makes sense.

Elder Sign, plus one.

You may look at the reverse side of a face down card in your play area and swap it with a card in your hand.

Okay.

For an additional cost of one resource, you may perform action or f- or, uh, free, uh, or free trigger act- or fast actions on assets beneath Constance Carrington as if they were in your play area.

Okay.

Elder Sign effect.

Plus zero, you may add a card beneath Constance Carrington to your hand.

I got to work with Larry back in 2010.

We were doing a board game called Defenders of the Realm from, 'cause you guys talked Eldritch Horror, Arkham Horror.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

So I just wanna put something out there that they can feel confident using.

Like, I play a little bit of Arkham Horror.

I'm very casual, and I just use Arkham DB like that.

I don't really deck build 'cause it's kind of difficult.
