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.

Really didn't need to be big box, there is a lot of air in there. Titular AO isn't as good as the fan made Masks of Nyarlathotep. I like extra cards for existing decks, but would not recommend this expansion over any others. Worst EH product so far.

Nyarlathotep was the ancient one I was waiting for. It has an interesting mechanic, as it is based on the adventures instead of the usual mysteries. The personal stories mechanic was also what was missig from Arkham Horror. Globally, I love this expansion.

+ 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].
