This was my third playing of Elder Sign and the game is
getting quicker to setup and therefore easier to bring up to play.
In our game, we were trying to keep Ithaqua from rising with
the following cast of characters.
Me – Harvey Walters
Paul – Darrell Simmons
Simo – Michael McGlenn
Daniela – Monterrey Jack
Cindy – Sister Mary
Kelley – Joe Diamond
Doug – Ashcan Pete
This may have been the easiest victory that I have had so
far in my three plays. The dice were
rolling well and everyone took to the strategy portion of which rooms to go
after at what time really quickly so that we banged through room after room,
allowing the more difficult ones to remain out.
No character died or went insane and with only a few doom
tokens, we were able to shut the door on Ithaqua.
Final Thoughts:
I didn't know how well this game would play with our group
who isn't too much into Lovecraft, but they all really seemed to get into the
game and enjoy it. The mechanics seemed
to work really well for everyone and the dice are always a big hit due to the
strategy involved and the rolling of symbols just adds a “mythos” to it.
I could see playing this one again at one of our game days, but
the lack of difficulty so far makes it a bit of a beginner’s game.
