Eldritch Horror: Masks of Nyarlathotep is an expansion for Eldritch Horror, a cooperative boardgame for one to eight players where 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.

A better expansion then expected, though still the 'worst' big box expansion. Masks adds the campaign option, which is really just 'play 6 games in a row'. No overarching story, just a few Prelude cards to tie everything together. It's still fun and gives the investigators a bit more personally. However I'm not sure I like the added Story cards. Some are really strong once you succeed, making a character really overpowered. Starting with an OP investigator every game kinda feels like cheating. Both new Ancient Ones are fun, so that's good. The new investigators seem quite strong, and with the added Resource mechanic makes me want to add more hard Mythos cards to balance things out. Speaking of the Resource mechanic... I'm not a fan. It's a good ability and gives players something to do rather than skipping part of their turn. But it's a bit late into the games life-cycle to add new mechanics like this. I really don't like that some events require you to have / spend a resource; the odds of those showing up is so low and it's unreasonable to prepare for that situation. So I've taken those cards out. Not the best solution but it works for me. In the end, I had to add Masks if only because it's the last expansion for Eldrich Horror. And to be honest, I would only recommend it for people who already have everything else. It's a fine expansion to top everything off, adding something new for experienced players. But for everyone starting out I would highly recommend looking elsewhere first.

personal quests really add to the role playing and thematic flavour of the game. We enjoyed having a more fleshed out back story for my character. The rest of the expansion is a little more of the same stuff for variety. The ancient one was quite a interesting. Overall a nice addition if you want more theme.

Pues esta expansión no es la gran cosa. Lo más prometedor era el modo campaña, lo cual resultó en prácticamente jugar 6 partidas seguidas ja ja. Lo compré porque no tiene tablero adicional: no me gustan esas expansiones porque siento se desperdicia mucho ese tablero adicional ya que sólo lo puedes usar cuando juegas contra un Antiguo en específico, y a mi lo que me gusta es jugar con distintos Antiguos en cada sesión.
