He knew that ofc, we commented on it before the scenario started, but it just didnt click for him - because you have to do your goddamn goal. The other time, another party member also comprised the mission to do his stupid battle goal - except he didnt realize, until half the mission that he had already unlocked all his perks. And, honest to god, I wasnt even realizing what I was doing. I once spent 20 minutes throwing a honest to god tantrum on my teammate (and dear friend) for compromising the mission so he would complete his goddamn battle goal, only to realize that I was doing the exact same thing. The kind of cognitive dissonance it creates, is amazing. And if the mission is failed, you dont get a perk even if you completed the goal. Everyone is going to jeopardize the mission so he can get his goddamn perk, everyone.
I cant begin to describe how much this changes the game. The goals must (and really should) be kept secret - if you complete the goal (never fall past half hp, end the scenario with only a single hp, have the most treasure, etc.), and win the scenario, you get a perk.
Before beginning the scenario, you shuffle the deck of cards, and deal two goals to each player, and every player chooses one to keep other to discard. I've actually been playing big box version for only a couple of sessions, so I cant say much, but we beat every single JotL scenario, on +2 (very hard), and still goal design is bri-lli-ant.īasically, theres a deck of goal cards, that gets shuffled between every scenario. That all aside, as I've previously mentioned - I find the goal design to be one of the smartest design choices in the game.

You can buy the single expansion, download the free solo scenarios, and all done. You get the big box, and almost everything. No missable promos, no thousand litttle expansions. When it comes to Gloomhaven, its pricey as all fuck, but thats it. But its quite messy, with all those different versions (I really cant differ Arkham Horror from Mansions of Madness or Eldritch Horror, its all a yuge Lovecraftian blob to me) and most importantly, FFGs extremely predatory DLC shit, it feels like a true pain in the ass to get going, no matter how awesome it sounds. So what I would like to say I guess is: go for the digital version and dig your teeth into the meat of the game, omitting the less tasty parts.Ĭlick to expand.I've been wanting to give Arkham Horror a try for a long, long while. Digital version cuts down on the time by at least 2 hours by shifting these tedious cleanup and calculation on the computer. "Civilization: Through the Ages", I would never play it again it takes too fucking long to take care of all the tedious stuff, especially with 4 players. This reminds me of another board game that greatly benefitted from the transition to a computer format. Not even talking about apps that you need to keep track of the state of the game (GH Campaign Tracker + GH Helper). However I need to say that I think this game should have been a computer game from the start, because of a lot of tedious stuff that takes a lot of time and can be cut down by the computer (setup + cleanup of scenarios, enemy AI, enemy and character HP and attack calculations, adding new enemies during the game etc.). The board game is great from the tactical point of view, especially with 3-4 players. Click to expand.Having completed 1.8 campaigns (one full, one almost full) I'm going to disagree with that statement.
