So last night we started diving into a new game to be streaming for at least a few weeks coming up here. I put up a poll to see between two games which to get to the table. And Arkham Horror The Card Game beat out Folklore: The Affliction 9 votes to 6 votes, results here. So join me at the table as I talk about the game and take on the first scenario.

The Game

Arkham Horror The Card Game is a living card game from Fantasy Flight Games. A living card game is like a collectible or trading card game where packs are released and you buy additional packs of cards. However, a living card game isn’t a blind buy like something along the lines of Magic: The Gathering. There is no risk as to what you get in the pack. It is always going to be the same, for some of the games it adds in new characters or villains, Marvel Champions, but for Arkham Horror: The Card Game, it adds in more story and they run through cycles of story.

I took my investigator, Wendy Adams, into the first scenario of the base box of Arkham Horror. You can see how it went, but I talk at the beginning how this is a deck construction game. I could have built my own deck, but that would have added time away from the game, so I didn’t want to do that. Instead, I jumped into the first scenario to see what I could get done.

For a full review on it, you can check out my TableTopTakes on it.

Over the next month, or so, I am going to play through the other two scenarios in the main box with less lead-up and explaining as I play the game. If people are enjoying it I will get some of the Mythos packs for the base game that continue the story from the base box.

The Beer

To continue on the theme of Surly Brewing, I had another one of their tart ales. This time it was the Key Lime Supreme. Not much more to add about it because I already had the mango and the grapefruit that they offer as well. A great slightly tart summer beer. And as it’s pushing the 70’s here in Minnesota, that is what I want to be drinking.
