All my friends have it, so I think we’re the last to own a copy of Arkham Horror because we always use someone else’s…

I prefer the lighter colored boards of later reprints. Originally the board background was dark brown - now placing the encounter cards in their districts can actually be seen.

We figured out a couple of good storage ideas; the Fantasy Flight AH dice sets make excellent piece holders with the little separator trays and fit in the box tray perfectly, and a Birchbox Man box makes for a nice Monster pull-out tray.

Two-player should be interesting, we’ll see if Jenny Barnes and “Ashcan” Pete can save Arkham from Yig! I’m about to disembark from the train station…

Physical Impossibilities in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic a.k.a. the best physics video you’ll watch today.

NOTE: The physics in this might not be 100% correct, but this was more for fun than actual science/calculations. Also we had to give it a rating for how physically correct it was, I only used XP and RP which basically meant physics outside this universe.

Humanity saved from PANDEMIC! Role, order, & lucky card pulls made a difference. Our strategy: Dispatcher, Medic, Researcher, & Troubleshooter were able to shut down, move around, and trade efficiently. In seems like the Researcher, being able to give any locations, is the game winning role. Always go with Researcher! It plays a lot like Forbidden Island (4-player, only more complicated turns).
