Our group is 0-3 against Yig. We get completely destroyed every time for some reason.

That Serpent Crown Mystery is just plain rude.

I just don't see Yig being a pushover because of all the Cursed conditions flying around in a Yig game. Not to mention if you fail the horror check against Yig, you get cursed. Rolling consecutive 6s is not one of the skills I possess.

Maybe in the games you have won with him awakened, everyone lucked out on the sanity roll, or they were not poisoned when he woke.

It's more Poison and LiTaS the real threats of the expansion. There are games where you are lucky and don't get poisoned, while in some others... :shiver:

I remember a Yig game where in a single round after he awoke we had a +7 on the doom track...

Quite rudely Yig kicked my ass tonight at the bar in Elder Sign Omens. I'm gonna have to stomp on that little snake soon before he starts to get uppity.

Also the Serpent Crown mystery is actually pretty easy if you are playing with Charlie and Leo. We pulled it as our second mystery and had it done in a turn.

I really like this expansion and the amount of stuff it adds to the base game.

Eldritch Horror is growing on me the more I play it. At first I thought it lacked some flavor but the more I play the more i'm love the way it's working.

Plus the variety FL is bringing to it is really welcome.

Yeah, after five or six games the stockholm syndrome kicks in.

I want it in South Africa

I feel exactly the same! This expansion has really added some variety and smoothed out other parts of the game that weren't the best. I definitely want to get more people to play with me now. Poison and being lost in time and space really add some fun to being penalized, because sometimes they can work to your advantage, like LiTaS may let you move anywhere on the board.

Thank you for the stack of new research encounters. I've only had time to play this game a half dozen sessions, and even then we were getting tired of seeing the same encounter pop up three times in the same game. This expansion was worth it even if just for those.

I will agree. I have not had the same scenario come up twice in research encounters. Still have issues with specific locales, but if you camp a city (such as Tokyo) thats bound to happen.

In either case, its much better than with just EH alone.

I got my copy today and play myself 2 games with 3 investigstor. Against Yig and Yog-Sottoth. What can I say. I really love all the additional for the game. Gane geting longer now as well. And I lost both game couse Mythos deck is empty. Is a bit weird for me since before I really rare lose my Mythos deck finish. Anyway is very cool and now I will have lot of games before I will see all varieties.

Hmm Forsaken Lore make a game harder…..I cannot win any game since i got Forsaken Lore……Cool I like it! Challenge make me feel more hunger for the game!

I agree that the game has gotten more difficult (in a good way) with the release of Forbidden Lore. This is born out by the early results on Tibs spreadsheet: 63.24% lose rate with Forbidden Lore vs 45.92% without.

Anyone know when this will be released in the UK?

Just got my copy today (Scotland) ... luv'ing the new fluff, cards and snakey-Yig GOO!

I'll need to have a closer look at everything to see where the expansion pays of best, but on first quick-scan, a bit disappointed there isn't more General Encounter cards ... there's only 4?

Guess we can't have our cake and eat it too!

Guess others will be released with the next expansion, and so on.

I think the main point is that General Encounter cards can be released with every new expansion, while there won't be easily any more stuff enhancing the core set AOs, so that preminence had been given to this aspect of the game over the General Encounters (the same was done for the Arkham line, with every expansion adding some new cards to the core set neighborhood decks)

I did not read the encounter cards that much and only played 3 games so far (shame on me, Descent is taking a lot of table time) but in my games everytime someone had to draw an encounter and was on one of the 3 color he would draw the specific encounter instead of the general...

What's the benefit of the General deck? Less bad things but less bonuses?

Vala_Melkor, THANK YOU. You are the best!

I live in Japan and I have never found a sight that delivers here for free!

I just ordered the expansion and it was only ¥2185 (Like $23). I usually pay $15 or more just for shipping.

The local price here is about ¥2800 but it's not even available here yet.

I'm gonna be using Book Depository a lot in the future. You just saved me a ton in shipping costs.

Just be sure they don't kill you with customs. Bookdep ships from the UK, so I guess outside EU you have to pay the customs. But yes, they have incredible prices

Here is crazy combo of Yeb and Mythos card call Return the Ancient Ones. Yeb coming on place 19 and bring 2 monsters with him. so is already 3. then one reckoning effect from Mythos card and boom you have 4 montsers on place 19 doom advance to zero and Shubby come to this poor world. it happen in first 3 4 rounds. Craziness! !!!

Seems like a Wolfgar game against Aunt Shub :p

(sorry, Wolfgar, didn't resist)

I make it. I won against Yig with 2 investigator!!!! from 5 games or even more victory at last!!!! But with 3 investigator after FL is pretty much game over every time. Now is really difficult to win with 3 investigator. ....

Hopefully this wiill not be the last expansion for this fabulous game!

How, the expansion arrived today to my surprise. That was super fast shipping. I didn't have to pay any sort of customs or anything. Bookdepo will be getting a return customer!

Too bad I wasn't expecting it to come in, I doubt I can scramble anyone to play it with me this weekend on such short notice.

I might have to do a solo run...

Happy to hear that

FL enriches the game experience quite a lot. A solo run could be fun to see the new components in actions! I do hope you like it

Got my expansion from amazon with free shipping and pretty cheap. They should gave us more investigator in the expansion, hopefully next one will have some.

We played one game versus YIG but it was a very long game. We were playing four players, 1 investigator went insane, we did get Diana which saved us at the end versus all the cultist. We won just before the last mythos card (which would been the draw a mythos card one which would been fail right then). We had only one artifact (statue) but lots of spells and items. The game had lots of conditions flying around, couple poisons and time and space, at end some dark pacts. I think one character had 6 conditions at one time. Our monster cup kept pulling the wraith Both of the new rumours we failed at completing, luckily whiteship would be going off at end of the turn after we fought yig. Surprising our bad rolls helped with Bermuda triangle card to get some players closer to yig for the end. Plump the Void was very helpful for our game.
