This is a fun coop game that uses an app to act as the gamemaster, revealing the layout of the mansion and the monsters/creatures/characters you encounter. The app is a nice touch in a lot of ways, in that it frees everybody up to be players, but it ends up absorbing or requiring a lot of focus. I find that the players all tend to crowd around the iPad reading the notes that the app issues. Perhaps if the app vocalized all of the notes instead, so the players just listened to it and reacted instead of obsessing over the iPad, it would solve my problem, but as it is now I found the app use to distract from the game.

Tematica de 10. La ap va suave y te quita mucho trabajo sin llegar a absorber la experiencia de juego. La unica pega es que el juego se complica demasiado para 1 o 2 jugadores sin adaptar reglas

The monster moves, role dice, role again, roll some more, still mythos phase… Do every obvious choice there is on the board, but not knowing what you do it for, oh and roll dice, evade a monster, roll more dice, but why? Who knows? This game blew me away reading the rules, listen to how The Secret Cabal loved it, Tom Vasel too, everyone(!) why? Might as well buy more dice, sit in the corner with an app, any app with (suiting) music and roll dice. Like Vlada Chvatil wrote in Ignacy Trzewiczek's book Board Games That Tell Stories (great book, read it!) he wrote that video games creates a stronger theme than board games, for me this proves the opposite (though I get his point!). I’m so glad I have Eldritch Horror and can’t wait to play it again after these horrible experiences. Hype can really be a bad thing :(
