Eldritch Horror is a tabletop strategy board game published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2013.[1][2][3] The players explore locales around the world filled with Cthulhu Mythos horrors.
Gameplay[]
Players cooperatively fight an ancient evil stirring from its slumber and must seal off this awakening horror before it's too late. Players travel around the globe battling monsters, solving mysteries, and equipping up, all to banish the Ancient One threatening to destroy the world.
The game is separated into three sections: the action phase (where each player takes actions for their character), the encounter phase (where players draw encounter cards and experience the world around them) and the mythos phase (where the Ancient One gets an opportunity to act out their nefarious deeds).
