Eldritch Horror vs Arkham Horror: Which Is Better?

Last Updated on: October 26, 2021 by Mike Parsley

Everyone has that one board game that’s a classic but nobody has played in a while because a newer, more interesting game had recently entered the market. And such is the case with Arkham Horror.

People know Arkham Horror as the predecessor to Eldritch Horror, being the first game to ever materialize the works of H.P. Lovecraft and turn it into an exciting and mind-racking game of minds.

Around 49027 had their own box of Arkham Horror in 2005.

When Eldritch Horror came along in 2013, however, people placed Arkham on the back burner and proceeded to enjoy the newer H.P. Lovecraft-themed board game.
