Elder Sign lets players control investigators who must successfully endure adventures within the museum in order to gather clues, items, and the eldritch knowledge they need to seal the rifts between dimensions and prevent the Ancient One's arrival. A clever and thematic dice mechanic pits their exploration against monsters and the sheer difficulty of staying sane and healthy while investigating the most dangerous exhibits and most terrifying instances of insanity.


Elder Sign recreates the Lovecraftian thrills of eerie suspense and mind-numbing horrors in a cooperative game players can finish in one to two hours. Rules, card text, and innovative dice mechanics expertly designed by Richard Launius and Kevin Wilson, the designers of Arkham Horror, all blend in a game that's quick to learn, quick to play, strategic enough to reward frequent replay, and eccentric enough to immerse players in the museum's supernatural intrigue.


Elder Sign includes:
1 Cardboard Clock
8 Customized Dice
1 Entrance Reference Sheet
80 Oversized Cards
76 Small Cards
144 Cardboard Tokens and Markers


Ages: 12+
Players: 1-8 2
Game Length: 60-120 Minutes

Great solo title

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Was a quick add for the 2/22/22 sale and so glad I got it! Had a great solo play and expansions really add to story.

Fun for solo play

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Been playing the app version for some time. Missed the tactile sensations of physical pieces. Challenging but fun game. Give it an extra look if you dig Lovecraft or horror in general.

Different but equal to Arkham Horror and Eldritch Horror

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Arkham Horror - Needlessly complex, but a great challenge from setting up to the epic climax six hours later. Eldritch Horror - Missing some thematic elements and depth, but much faster to set up and play. Still the same amount of real estate taken up. Elder Sign - Quarter of the real Estate, easy set up, fast play. The lighter theme of eldritch Horror is still there. It may seem simple, but you will not win every game unless the Dice Gods love you. You will have to make tough decisions and there is a luck aspect due to the dice. Not for everyone, but definitely fun for all skill levels. If you want a faster journey through Lovecraft's domain, this is perfect for you. I love all three equally and if you have friends and loved ones hesitant to join you before, this is will definitely entice.

Fun Co-Op dice game.

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

I bought this as an alternative to Eldritch Horror as the theme is similar. This is a light game that has Yahtzee style dice rolling. It is fun and very easy to teach. It is a good alternative to the longer game of Eldritch Horror if you like rolling dice. The Co-op element is fun as you are working together to complete the cards. Cards are completed by rolling dice and matching the symbols. Overall this is a great dice game.

Arkham Horror Light

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

While not nearly robust as some others of it's genre (Arkham Horror, Eldrich Horror, Mansions of Madness, etc.) this game most definitely finds it's niche. If you want a "Lite" version of anything of the previously mentioned games this will work out well. Short setup and take down time make it much more manageable for games who just want to play something quick. The thematic feel is still there even though this is isn't a true "board" game. The doomsday clock ticking down and trying to decide which mission to accomplish with the time you have left is entertaining. I am looking forward to getting the expansions AFTER my friends and I can routinely beat the base game.
