ELDER SIGN OMENS AZATHOTH SERIES
Each investigator takes turns exploring the museum, attempting to overcome one of the many encounters therein.Įncounters are resolved by “conjuring” a series of glyph icons (investigation, lore, peril and terror) by rolling the dice, then matching the icons rolled to the results required to pass each section of an encounter. These range from restoring lost sanity or stamina, to gaining extra equipment, to changing the type of glyphs generated on the game’s virtual dice.

Players begin by assembling a team of four investigators from a pool of 16, each with their own unique abilities. Now Fantasy Flight has retooled this already sleek game even further and ported it to iOS in the form of Elder Sign: Omens. By streamlining many of Arkham’s mechanics and focusing on solving encounters with the use of special glyph-generating dice, games of Elder Sign only lasted an hour or two, rather than upwards of 3-5 hours like its big brother. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, it was a faster paced alternative to their flagship board game Arkham Horror. Based in the universe of horror icon H.P.

Can a ragtag team of investigators brave the hidden mysteries of these strange, sinister halls, risking both life and sanity in a race against time to seal the path before the dreaded Azathoth lays waste to the Earth?Įarlier this year, Fantasy Flight Games released the Elder Sign tabletop game. An unknowing world teeters on the brink of destruction. In the depths of a silent museum, an ancient evil stirs.
