You arrived too late to stop the loathsome rite, and a monstrous Ancient One is tearing its way into our reality. An iridescent rift slashes across the dark sky, and creatures pour into the buildings of Miskatonic University. Arkham Horror: Final Hour is a fast, fully cooperative board game for one to four players, playable in under an hour. An endless tide of monsters sweeps across the campus, and you must hold them back while you hunt for the ritual components needed to reverse the summoning. The odds are astronomical, and your fate depends on how well you work together. A 2019 game, compact and urgent rather than sprawling.

Who it's for

You like Lovecraftian horror and want a quick cooperative scramble, solo or with a small group, rather than a long campaign.

Not for you if…

You want a slow mystery to investigate. This is a last stand, fast and unforgiving.

Vibe's take

Frantic and desperate. The clock never stops, the monsters keep coming and every turn is a trade-off between fighting and searching.
