Something to do with the apocalypse maybe...<br /><br />Anne and Teebore - Hah!<br /><br />Okie - it's mostly characters vs the game, but there's certainly in-game opportunites to screw other players. There's also a team up option. Ugh, arkham horror is sooooo long. Our gameplay has a set amount of time, depending on amount of players. Currently it has 31 rounds, and each player has a turn within the round. That may change a bit in the future, but with the 3 of us playing, it wasn't long at allSarah Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795455714801965956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-53241003942224085692010-08-11T13:56:13.655-05:002010-08-11T13:56:13.655-05:00That sounds like fun.

That's awesome.<br /><br />So is this set up co-op style...all the players against the game?
