Eldritch Horror Forsaken Lore Board Game EXPANSION | Mystery Game | Cooperative Board Game for Adults and Family | Ages 14+ | 1-8 Players | Avg. Playtime 2-4 Hours | Made by Fantasy Flight Games

This is a must buy expansion. If you have to choose one, Forsaken Lore adds so much to the base game and great increase its replay ability.

The recipients were very excited to have this as a Christmas gift.

I thought this expansion was a great addition to the main Eldritch Horror game. I have really enjoyed Eldritch Horror and it was nice to be able to mix it up a little bit with this expansion without creating too many changes. Overall I would definitely recommend and it is at a great price as well.

Eldritch Horror is an amazing game. Tons of replay value. This expansion is a perfect starting upgrade. Adds more assets, scenarios, etc. which only adds to the content. No new mechanics, just more options!

Such an easy add-on to the base game that increases the versatility and ability to replay the game.

For the money this expansion is very worth it; it adds a ton of base game expansion content on top of the new Eldritch boss. That being said, this expansion also makes the game exponentially more difficult with its new encounters. Many encounter cards it adds to the game only have negative outcomes and/or more brutal punishments than the base game content, which really throws off the balance of the game. Monsters that were once moderately difficult to beat now result in the death of several investigators more than previous, which usually equates to defeat. I definitely think this expansion is worth it, but I would invest in other expansions first that add more beneficially content to the game such as stronger characters.

I got the basic game of Eldritch Horror for Christmas and LOVED it. However the game should probably have had these cards in it to begin with, but I'm not complaining. :-) After a few plays of the game you start to see some "repeats" in the encounter cards and research cards. This inexpensive add-on supplement takes care of that. There have got to be hundreds of new mythos, research, clue, encounter & asset cards in this small expansion (the whole package, box & all, is about the size of a large paperback book). It adds a lot of depth to an already outstanding game!

Eldritch Horror is a good game. But let’s face it, it relies pretty strongly on keeping the encounters fresh. Enter: Forsaken Lore. The beautiful thing about this expansion it’s not a bunch of new crap to learn. No new board, crazy new mechanics, nothing. Just more encounters. And some other stuff but mostly that. It’s essential if you plan on playing it more than a few times.
