JcDent posted:Eldrich Horror In this vein, also check out Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island. Like Arkham/Eldritch, it's a board game co-op Roguelike type of experience. Players are stranded together on a mysterious island with a randomized layout, and you play against the (quite harsh) board and a tight time limit in order to accomplish one of several scenarios, which you choose at the beginning of the game. Each scenario brings its own rules to the table regarding things like your time limit and your victory/loss conditions. In addition to pursuing that goal, you must gather materials and build tools and shelters in order to survive the elements, while hoping that you don't get murdered by wildlife before you can build a weapon. Exploration is important, as the map is made up of un-revealed tiles that have their own terrain features and unknown resources to obtain. There's lots of dice rolling involved to see if you don't die, which makes it ultimately Ameritrash, but it helps cut down on quarterbacking that you might see in a lot of co-ops because it's difficult to know what's going to be a good idea or a waste of time without just doing it. If you like long-playing, fiddly, co-op adventure games, it's definitely worth checking out, and the 6 scenarios that it ships with provide replay value with their self-contained rules variations, including a traitor mechanic.
