First of all, I have only played this with my wife. We are very competitive and love the sci fi/fantasy genre so we thought a co-op game would be great. This game does not disappoint. It is so much fun, and a few other reviews said that there were too many nuances to all the cards and they had to keep getting rulings on the meanings of what had to happen. This is nonsense. The updated rulebook that ships with this game goes over everything you will ever need. You just need to read it before you play. This means give yourself an hour to familiarize yourself with the rulebook before you plan on playing. Beyond that, keep in mind a usual game takes about 4 hours, so you will want to break it up over the course of a few nights. It also takes up quite a bit of space, so we tend to use our extra table (we used our dining table the first game and had to eat on the coffee table for 2 days afterwards).
Pros - extremely fun, co-op gameplay. Lots of twists and turns. a good bit of strategy is involved, I also feel the length is a pro.
Cons - the co-op isnt really dependent on one another - you can really go off and do your own things for the most part, the only truly co-op bits are that you are working for the same goal, and you can trade items if you are in the same place.
also its important to know that while there are modifiers that you can gain and move around strategically to win battles and matches, this is at its core a dice rolling game, like risk. if that bothers you, you should probably sit this one out.Get more detail about Arkham Horror.
