Call of Cthulhu

Played my second game of Call of Cthulhu the LCG with Linds.  It's terrific fun with clever mechanics, great Lovecraft inspired art and intense gameplay.  I lost the very first play out of the box as Linds proved the master tactician.  I clutched the win tonight from an 0-2 deficit in which I almost lost by a card two or three times.  It really brought the tension of the Arkham Horror game with it.


Fantasy Flight has put together quite the theatrical promo/demo which actually does an adequate job of conveying the core concepts of the game and introducing a majority of the rules.  The LCG (Living Card Game) is FFs way of taking a collectible card game and encapsulating it into complete playable chunks.  It takes the random collecting out of it and replaces it with more disciplined card management and balanced play between two people.
