Eldritch Horror: Masks of Nyarlathotep is an expansion for Eldritch Horror, a cooperative board game for one to eight players in which intrepid investigators must traverse the globe in an attempt to thwart the cataclysmic rise of an otherworldly Ancient One. Strange cults are gathering strength in remote corners and bustling cities all over the world. Though they seem to worship different gods, the investigators have found a thread that runs throughout all of the cultists’ horrific rites.
In Masks of Nyarlathotep, each of these sects pursues the awakening of an aspect of the same horrific creature: Nyarlathotep. This being is known as the Messenger of the Outer Gods, and he is the only Ancient One that still actively walks among humanity. The investigators must work to stop the cults springing up to serve his many guises, or Nyarlathotep will gain enough strength to open the Ultimate Gate, ushering in an unthinkable doom. Strike down these cults in new Adventures, explore ancient mysteries among new Mystic Ruins, and destroy the monstrous followers of Nyarlathotep. New to this expansion, Personal Stories unique to each character add stakes to the actions undertaken by each investigator, and a Campaign mode adds a fresh challenge and enriches the narrative of the investigators’ struggles to stop the many cults worshipping the multitude of faces worn by one dread being in Eldritch Horror: Masks of Nyarlathotep!

Final and probably the best over all Eldritch Horror expansions adding new campaign mode and new mechanic based on personal tasks for each investigator.

+ More stuff! + Nyarlathotep! - Small-box content in a big box. - "Campaign mode" isn't—it's just six games in a row, rather than a coherent story arc. [url=https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2017/10/6/masks-of-nyarlathotep/]FFG's marketing[/url] gave the impression that "campaign mode" was a board game playthrough of the classic [rpgitem=46443]Masks of Nyarlathotep[/rpgitem] RPG adventure—both products have the same name, and they're shown side-by-side... Instead, the "campaign" is just—[i]wait for it[/i]—six games in a row against six random Ancient Ones. [insert floppy clock painting here] I shouldn't have to cobble together a houseruled variant to get at what this should've been—that's what I'm paying you for, FFG. • This feels like... something happened during the design & production process and it got shoved out the door halfway done. It's a small-box amount of game rattling around in a too-empty big box—which leaves me wondering if this wasn't originally conceived as having a [i]Masks[/i] campaign sideboard that got nixed somewhere along the way, but they were committed to a deadline so they just pulled half the stuff out at the last minute. I dunno. It's just... [i]off[/i].

The game needed a campaign that was not too strict and not too difficult and easy to set up and play. It succeeded and still some idiots complain. In order to even have an interesting campaign you need a system that allows you to win a few times at the very least, so the designers introduced a resource tool to help you out and make it just a bit easier to control things. And yet another group complained... without even trying or playing... Typical for this age and time. The expansion introduces story telling of investigatorsn a light but very challenging campaign mode and a new dice controlling tool (resources) with a bunch of very interesting investigators and yep ... 2 end bosses. Buy it, it complements the EH collection perfectly.
