Description

Arkham Express is a thrilling cooperative game where 1 to 4 players work together to save the world from the clutches of the Great Old One, Cthulhu. Designed by David Willems, this fast-paced game is easy to learn and can be explained quickly, making it accessible to new players. In just 10 minutes, you'll embark on an adventure to gather clues, kill monsters, and close gates to prevent Cthulhu's awakening. Each player selects a character with a unique special ability, adding a layer of strategy to the game. As you roll the dice, you'll need to carefully decide how to use the symbols to move around, collect clue tokens, heal, and fight monsters. With only a few chances to re-roll, every decision counts. If three monster symbols appear, a new gate opens, and a terrifying creature emerges in Arkham. The goal is to close six gates before it's too late, but if you succeed, Cthulhu awakens, and you'll need to use all your remaining items and abilities to defeat him. With its simple yet engaging gameplay, Arkham Express is a fun and challenging experience that's perfect for fans of adventure and dice games. Published in 2010, this game has been delighting players for years, and its print-and-play format makes it easy to get started.
