Elder Sign is one of the games which most frequently hits my gaming table these days - particularly as it is relatively fast-playing, solitaire-friendly, and generally does the job of replicating the feel of some of the larger, longer and more complex entries into Fantasy Flight Games’ Arkham Case Files game series - even more so with Gates of Arkham: an expansion to Elder Sign which provides s new deck of cards allowing players to leave the confines of the Miskatonic Museum (the focus of the base game) to explore the city of Arkham itself, in effect turning Elder Sign in a more readily playable mini-version of Arkham Horror (a game which I’ve never managed to completed in under four hours); Gates of Arkham also ramps up the difficulty to provide more of a challenge to seasoned players. In all, if you are looking for a lighter version of Arkham Horror (at least until the third edition of the game drops), Elder Sign with the Gates of Arkham expansion may well be your thing.
