Played multiple times at Washingcon. Honestly, it's better than Pandemic. I love all the changes, and I prefer the theme. Unfortunately, I don't have the kind of group who'd appreciate it - the ones who prefer simple games would just want to play Pandemic, and the ones who like more complicated games are sick of the Pandemic formula. But me, this is perfect for. I'm seriously considering buying it just to solo.

Really great new iteration of Cthulhu, the changes and nuances are all thematic and in fact I prefer this over vanilla Pandemic. I love the addition of the Sanity die, the various movement options, the Relics and how the Cultists and Shoggoths can move or summon to flip Old Ones cards faster. But at it's heart, you'll recognize the pure Pandemic gameplay.

This game is good because Pandemic is fundamentally good, but its new mechanisms (sanity and gates) are not significantly better than those in Pandemic itself. Plus the board is super dark and the artwork, while nice, becomes completely invisible as soon as the super distracting bright teal coloured miniatures are placed down. I do however, like the Shuggoth (moving epidemic) rules very much.
