Eldritch Horror is a tabletop strategy board game published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2013. The players explore locales around the world filled with Cthulhu Mythos horrors.
Gameplay
Players cooperatively fight an ancient evil stirring from its slumber and must seal off this awakening horror before it is too late. Players travel around the globe battling monsters, solving mysteries, and equipping up, all to prevent the Ancient One from entering the world and threatening to destroy it.
Each round of the game is divided into three sections: the action phase (where each player takes actions for their character), the encounter phase (where players may draw encounter cards and interact with the world around them) and the mythos phase (where the Ancient One and his minions get an opportunity to act out their nefarious deeds).
