I have both AH & EH & like EH better, theme wise it's
much closer to the Mythos than the Monster parade on
the streets of a town. The monsters are keyed to the
GOO your on a Mission against rather than the grab bag
of AH . This is of course personal preference so take
that for what it's worth.

It's also more streamlined in mechanics than AH. You
should give it a try.

Eldritch Horror is a more polished game than Arkham imo. The new expansion should be great, as it is bigger than the Forsaken Lore expansion already released.

We just bought Smash Up and Boss Monster which we're enjoying quite a bit.
Also just backed Looking for Trobils on KS which looks like it could be really fun.

Very nice! I love Smash Up and have tried Boss Monster once or twice before and did enjoy it. Love the art style especially.

Well, I seem to have gone a little crazy. I've recently bought Legends of Andor (absolutely amazing, but until they sort out the expansions, not a great deal of replayability), Heroes of Normandie, Memoir 44, Descent and Mice & Mystics. As a mostly solo gamer, I'm wondering if I'm going to get a lot of time out of the wargames but I've never had any before. I saw Android going really cheap, but AFAIK there's just no way that plays solo.

In fairness, I balanced this out by selling Cosmic Encounter (just not my type of game) with a couple of expansions, so I'm not quite in the poorhouse yet. Only a matter of time, though.

Legends of Andor is a really beautiful Game but it does need
more expansions-which exist in German but FFG hasn't
done anything to get us English versions.

Cosmic Encounter is a Game I never could get into, I
have one of the pre FFG versions & never got beyond
reading the rules.

The only things I've added since my previous posts
are pre preordering Gates of Arkham the Elder Sign
Expansion & picking up Banners of War the Runewars
expansion.

Latest additions: Tannhauser (I might struggle with this, as I don't have a regular 2-player opponent), Fallen, Elder Sign + Expansions (I finally caved in)..oh, and Descent is freakin awesome!

[Old Dwarf]

I did preorder the 2 Battlelore 2 Troop Expansion & the 2 Monster fig packs (Dragon & Giant)
now they just came out with a Razorwing which I'll preorder as soon as CSI puts it up.

I'm still looking at Wilderness Empires the French & Indian War Block Game it was a KS but
should hit Retail sometime in May (probably will get but I want to see a bit more)

Tannhauser- I waited for ever after I preordered ,even joined the French Fan Site as the Theme
really appealed to me. I even did some homebrew expansions. Alas the Rulebook was a disaster
which rather turned me off but I did get the revised Rulebook later but by then I sort of lost interest.

The Pathfinder System & the fact you only have 2 boards (base game) did not work for me

I recently picked up Mansions of Madness & two of the mini expansions (I know its an older game but other then the FFG games I haven't really got my feet wet in board games). Looking at either Imperial Assault or Shadows over Camelot & pick up the painted knights from the official site.

[FruitEatingBear]

Let me know what you think of Imperial Assault. It's basically Descent re-skinned. I'd get it, but I bloody hate Star Wars.
