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.

This is an excellent expansion. While it is a "big box" expansion, this does not contain a new board. It contains a couple of new old ones, more cards of every main type, a couple of new investigators, and personal quests. The personal quests are unique to each investigator, and has a reward and a consequence. So the reward may trigger if you've explored three expeditions / mystic ruins, but the consequence may trigger if 8 clues are on the board at the same time. Once one triggers, the other cannot be obtained. Rewards can do things like give you bonus actions, grant tokens 1/turn, give you artifacts, etc. Consequences can give you penalties in certain situations or on types of actions, cost you cards, etc. In all, it adds a little bit more immersion and makes every character just a little more unique.

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.

Did not like character stories, they had opportunity to even out some characters, but instead made only stronger characters stronger.
