Eldritch Horror | Shelfside Review

In this Shelfside Review, we cover an old lovecraftian classic that has stayed relevant to us throughout the years. Eldritch Horror is a 1-8 player cooperative game where players must assume the role of mid 1920's investigators in a global-scale adventure in which they must prevent the rise of an ancient eldritch entity. Released back in 2013 by Fantasy Flight Games, Eldritch Horror was an analog experience that was before the rise of the "Legacy" style of cooperative games. How does it stack up to new behemoths like Gloomhaven, Mansions of Madness, and Pandemic Legacy?

Tabletop board games have come a long way since Eldritch Horror, and so have we (somehow we've played this game for 5 years without any expansions lmao), after spending 3 months making this behemoth of a review. Join us in this deeper delve into why we still play Eldritch Horror after all these years.
