From BGG

The two new cards are "Song of the Dead," an Event card, and "Ominous Overture," a Mystery card. Both cards are to be added directly to their respective decks.

Event: Song of the Dead

Card Text: "Play when a Hero is KO'd (including yourself). That Hero does not have to lose any Items, Allies, or Investigation for being KO'd. OR Play when a Town Elder is killed to immediately gain D6 Investigation."

Mystery: Ominous Overture

Card Text: "At the start of each Mystery Phase (including this one), each Hero gains 1 Investigation. Any time a Hero rolls a 1 for movement, they must draw a Mystery Card instead of an Event. REMAINS IN PLAY."

I just added mine to their decks in prep for my first
SWTWC Game.

Both are very nice cards. Ominous Overture in particular is brutal, I've found.

I know this is a bit late, but what's the verdict on Something Wicked?

I'm on the fence about ATOE because I've read that it's not as good as LNOE and it feels incomplete without Something Wicked. My group is kind of hesitant about trying ATOE.

I thought it was better than LNOE before SW came out. Now that SW is out, I barely remember I have other board games.

I like both, but greatly prefer LNOE. Our opinions here vary.

Finally got around to ordering Something Wicked and The Allies (oh and Radioactive Zombies and Zombie Pillage). Fingers crossed they all arrive before Xmas.

I think Bing said it best when he sang...

"I'm dreaming of a Flying Frog Christmas!"

or something (wicked) like that!

Again LNoE & AToE are both good games but play differently.
I prefer AToE basically due to its theme & setting but really
they are two different Gaming Experiences,you can enjoy both.

SWtWC is a nice addition to AToE but it doesn't "fix"AToE
(as it ain't broken:P )you don't need it to enjoy the
base game.

Z67 I hope your stuff arrives before Christmas Zombie03

Cheers OD.

If it doesn't it'll have to be an Arkham Horror Xmas, as we have recently invested in Innsmouth & Kingsport, so along with Dunwich which we bought a while ago that's the full set of the big boxes....hmm, now onto the smaller ones. Zombie03

I thought that SW added flavor to the game without really adding too much complexity. I wish they added the part about having to roll to escape the Forgotten Island on the board, but other than that no complaints. Well, the Banshee did smack the heck out of me, but after THAT there are no complaints.

I was surprised at how 'different' the Bog Fiend' and the 'Unspeakable Horror' are in character from the initial 4 villains. Where the Banshee, Necromancer and Gargoyle were 'more of the same' in many senses, Bog and Horror in my opinion went off in completely new directions.

I do like LNOE a lot more, though.

Happy to say everything arrived today. So it really can be a Flying Frog Xmas....with maybe a bit of Arkham thrown in for good measure. Zombie03
