Hello from scenic Wilmington, DE
Hello!
I always wanted to/felt like I should love Arkham Horror but never did. Heard about ATOE on a podcast (listening through old episodes) that has similar feelings about AH and it sounded like a good fit. Just played my first games this past weekend. One solo game (did not enjoy) because I could not wait and one game with four players (over the top enjoyment). Bought the game + SW expansion used. Will probably pick up the Coast at some point "just because" but don't see it getting much use as my table is just big enough to fit the base board + SW. I know I'm a little late to the party, thanks for letting me join in the community/fun, bwin |

The party at TZG never ends (well as long as Sarku pays the bills) Welcome, to another AToE Fan.
I have the Coast but never actually played it. Have you tried Eldritch Horror ? I found that for me at least it does a better job at creating a Lovecraft feel than AH. So once again scenic Wilmington welcome from exotic South Jersey. OD Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,— Wailing for the lost one that comes not again: |

RE: Hello from scenic Wilmington, DE
Did you play competitive or cooperative?
I have only played the coop rules and was wonder if your "over the top enjoyment" was from which version. You can play AToE with the Coast omitting the SW board to save room. |

There were some rules neglected (missed rolling on the coop mystery chart a bunch of rounds) by accident that made the overall game a lot easier on us but we still all got KO'd bad in the showdown. We decided to end the game there since the shadow track had not moved much due to not rolling on the mystery chart. Oops! The person I got the game from had player aids printed out that didn't include coop-specific stuff and I hadn't read the rules thoroughly. I don't see us ever playing competitive as most us consider ourselves casual gamers and it wouldn't be as easy to bring new people to the table.

Do any of the mystery or event cards or anything else have to removed once mixed with the others? I'm very disorganized and like to avoid anything that makes a game harder to get out onto the table.

Haven't tried Eldritch Horror but it does seem like it would definitely be better than AH. I did play Mansions of Madness once a long time ago and had a similar experience to AH, wanting to like it but just not having a very good time. Has anyone created a Jersey Devil villain for AToE? |

RE: Hello from scenic Wilmington, DE
You can keep the Mystery and Event cards together. The Lair cards are the only deck that needs to be played differently. The rules say to use locations not on the map as wild cards that cost twice as much to start a showdown with. Alternatively, you can just discard (ignore) locations that are not in play and draw again. Both methods work fine. I would suggest using the wild card method if playing a SW villain without the SW board because some showdown locations have special villain specific text.
