Elder Sign Review: Protect Humanity from the Ancient One

04/01/25, 0 comments

In Elder Sign, we're investigating the Miskatonic Museum, where bizarre events have been happening. The survivors have described the horrors they have seen, and are adamant that the Ancient One, an interdimensional being, will return soon. Can we seal the Ancient One away before it's too late?

H. P. Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, or, H. P. Lovecraft, needs no introduction. This iconic author is known for his "cosmic horror" books and stories, particularly "The Call of Cthulhu".

Watch some gameplay:

If you would like to learn more about teamwork, communication, strategy, and decision-making, Elder Sign is perfect for you!

Learning these skills with this game will be wonderful. Learning about teamwork, in particular, will be great. This game also encourages you to think strategically and nail tough decisions, which is fantastic.

Considering this is a horror board game, Elder Sign is excellent precisely because it also encourages you to work on so many soft skills. If your friends and family are not that comfortable with the horror theme, you can always soften certain elements and say, for instance, that "monsters" are just "animals", and that you need to clean out the museum. You don't need to go into the nitty-gritty details: just focus on rolling dice and completing Tasks. This will be enough!

You'll discuss who will go to which place, then you'll get excited because you'll be responsible for completing that Task, and celebrate each dice roll. That's the magic of dice rolling games.

The Clock also adds some nice pressure to the game as a whole. Whenever you defeat another creature, you'll have a lot of fun interacting with one another.

You'll constantly work on your strategies and decision-making skills, which will be fantastic. And, the best of all, you'll have a lot of fun interacting with other players, cheering for them, and winning the game.

Elder Sign is a lot of fun, and a great lesson in team-work!

I highly recommend Elder Sign to your collection!!!
