Is AToE a high replayability game?

[Pfr_Fate]

One thing that an answer to this must keep in mind is the differences in game-play (as different from 'game mechnics'). LNOE basically is a tactical game based upon one 'scene' of a zombie film...usually the most intense goal to be accomplished. ATOE tells a story of the hunt for a identified monster within a secret filled New England town of the 1790s. There in lies the differnces between the two games.

LNOE is replayable because it examines a host of different scenes with a variety of mixed heroes. However, the story is about as varied as a single scene can be...different outcomes based on how the different heroes win or lose in the attempts to gain victory on thier precise single goal.

ATOE is replayable because there are a few different monsters that provide different play events (like the different scenarios provided in LNOE), have different heroes (like LNOE) to provide different skill sets, but it is singular in that the secrets uncovered and the cards that occur dictate a more complete story over the length of the game. However, it is a longer game and less tightly focussed.

In essence: ATOE is about the whole town being explored and changed as the heroes battle, while LNOE is about the single situation changing fast and furiously as the heroes battle. Flying Frog delivers a story with both. Without a doubt, the story is different each time.
