Huh. Is there ANY possible way that a game like this could get started up again? I bought the Arkham horror about a month ago, and I absolutely love it. Participating in an online game would be great fun.

I found it a bit hard to follow without having the pieces in front of me. The moving of chits on a piece to see how much movement/power/whatever I had, the game board, wtf I was doing was hard to keep up with on the forum. This may have just been for me though. ;)

It was just Austin.

If someone starts it we will come to play. I do not own it though so it will not be me.

:P I figured. I was trying to think if it could be simplified for forum use though. Okay, for Austin forum use. :P

Having played the board game, it is relatively simple.

Turn One - find neat stuff
Turn Two - Do neat stuff
Turn Three - Panic
Turn Four - Panic
Turn Five - Everybody dies.

Shall we play again? :lol:

I'm in if someone else has the inclination to do it (I don't own it either)

Hey there!

It was fun running the game, but it's a lot of work, too. And not being the most organized person made it even more confusing. We could continue, but my current job *blech* involves a lot of travel, and I couldn't really bring the box with me. I might be quitting soon, though.
