You arrived too late to stop the loathsome rite, and a monstrous, transdimensional Ancient One tears through reality. An iridescent rift slashes across the darkened skies, heralding the nightmarish creatures that pour into the hallowed buildings of Miskatonic University. As howls and screams cut through the night, there is only one path left for your fearless investigators—hold back the horde long enough to somehow reverse the summoning.
Arkham Horror: Final Hour is a fully co-operative, fast-paced board game for one to four players. An endless tide of monsters sweeps across the Miskatonic University campus, and you must hold them back, all while searching desperately for the ritual components you need to put an end to this insanity. Playable in under 60 minutes, your fate depends on cooperation between you and your fellow investigators. The odds against you are astronomical, but if you don’t succeed, this will indeed be the final hour for Arkham…and the world.

I bought this on a whim due to the "Arkham Horror" label. However, after looking at some reviews and gameplay, it just seems to random and luck based for my taste.

Another decent entry in the Lovecraft verse, but so far the weakest one. It is short and entertaining enough though

I'd call this a very very very light Arkham game (lookalike). The mechanics are very simple to learn and the game plays fast but it lacks the narrative element I find so appealing in old Arkham titles. I am not sure if it is this or the fact that the game is really easy that makes it less attractive for me. Overall I'd give it a solid 7. The game is challenging, you can either play about an hour or lose in 10 minutes. Nice game, but if you do not play it you're not missing anything. I'm hoping expansions might bring more fun.
