It's not bad, would definitely play again. I like the fact that it doesn't really get easier at any point. You can slow down the Old Ones but you can't really make the game significantly easier like you can by eradicating a virus in regular Pandemic. There are times where a Shoggoth appears and immediately jumps through a gate before you get a chance to respond, to me that's a really poor design choice and the second time that happened pretty much doomed the game for the family.

Solid. Perhaps a bit too well-trimmed of a Cthulhu mythos game when compared to the mayhem that is Arkham Horror.

While I appreciate the Old Ones and the Sanity mechanism in this game, the simplified logistical puzzle (compared to other entries in the series) takes away a lot of my enjoyment of the game. Also, I find that the Shoggoth's movement, while very cool in theory, often ends up adding a huge swing in difficulty based on where they spawn.
