Under Dark Waves - Expansion for Arkham Horror

It took a LONG time to get it all set up the first time, and even LONGER to get our heads around the rules (each time we've played we've realised we've been doing something wrong, so I'm still not convinced that we've nailed all of the rules yet!), But it is such a good game to play! As a couple, we love board games, but it's so hard to find decent ones that you can play as a 2. This has ticked that box for us. There are so many different set ups and intricacies that I can see how it will feel like a different game every time for a long time. The parts are well made and sturdy enough to last. The rules and instructions, although lengthy, are very clear and well written. The attention to detail is superb: we've loved the story elements to it, which make it much more interesting. We're already looking at expansion sets! Would definitely recommend for anyone who likes cooperative and/or strategy games.

Not a board game for the family. It's not dirty, it's just a little complicated for your average schmuck. Lots of small pieces, some complicated rules, but hot dang it's fun! Don't need to have a pre-existing knowledge of Lovecraftian Horror, as the story's are all self contained. Great world building on the lore card really sets the scene. 2-3 hours play time per session, with great replay value means you can get multiple uses out of the game. Definitely good value for money (even if it's a little pricey up front) Would suggest buying an insert for the box to improve the storage, as there is basically none as standard (3 zip bags)

Outstanding coop game that’s out of the ordinary

Massive game for the price , would recommend to any Arkham fan

It’s the strong atmosphere and narrative that makes even non-gamers appreciate this game. I have many friends who generally don’t play much board games but are always willing to play this game. The mechanic is much more akin to Eldritch Horror with some the LCG story structures, and even Pandemic features. However as a minor point, the game doesn't scale difficulty with low player count very well i.e. 1-2 player is easier, i had to tweak the mythos bag tokens to ramp up the difficulty a bit. 3-4 players is the sweet spot i think. Overall, it is an awesome game if you don't already own Eldritch Horror. It's a blast of fun with friends for a few hours.

I use thie game for solo play, and watched the review on YouTube. It's really good game, and you have hours of fun, every play isn't the same has the 1st.

New Expoansion, new rulkes, new ways to make you suffer, If you like a family freindly romp, this isnt for you. But it is one of the best co-op games for average to regular players, and the new additions in this pack just add more to the fun.

Old school fan of Arkham and Eldritch, this is easily the best and most refined version yet. The mechanics are all really tight and work well together, it looks great and is well made. If you like your spooky co-op games, then you should definitely pick this up.

Fast delivery, good game but it will be a long game

This is a great expansion. It's difficulty has forced to play it more times. I love the new scenarios and monsters. Also the extra cards are excellent.

Tenía años queriendo comprar este juego, no sé por qué espere tanto!, Está increíble, he jugado junto con mis primos la campaña "inicial" 3 ocasiones y cada vez ha tenido muchas variaciones en la narrativa y el juego mismo. Puede ser un poco denso y "lento", pero una vez que aprendes las reglas y orden durante las rondas el juego será más fluido. La calidad de las tarjetas, fichas y lozas de escenario es muy buena, mis quejas principales son: Los dados son super austeros y pequeños. Estoy casi seguro que las bases de plástico con el tiempo dañarán las fichas de los personajes por estarlas removiendo y colocando constantemente, son solo 6 bases y 12 fichas de personaje por lo que es un hecho que en algún punto será un problema. Soy nuevo en los juegos de mesa más complejos y "serios", pero estoy disfrutando mucho aprendiendo a jugar y volviendome más bueno en ello. Recomendable para fans del horror cósmico y la ambientaciones de época bien realizadas, imperdible!.
