     i sort of agree with both of you, however weighing  up the risks of fighting the monsters for monster trophies is worth the risk... but the more we play the more the rules become second nature and the easier/harder the game becomes.... it is, possibly the greatest board game ever ever created!!

     well it seems we finally have a %95 knowledge of the rules (does anyone ever get to %100?) and just finnished another game beating Ithaqua and got 22 points!! ... it was bloomin blooming close... the doom track was up to 10, but we suddenly had 6 elder signs on the board WHOOP-WHHOP!! so i think we are finally doing it properly !!! .... mind you we picked the monster for the next game (randomly) ....and it's the dreaded yog sothoth   EEEK!! ....wish us luck!! 

     

    Oh and hey old man no worries i think i'd do the same in your position, if some twit came on a forum asking obvious questions about something i knew all about... gui%C3%B1o.gif

     brilliant!! we finally killed a 'ancient one'!!! and got a total of 18 points... 

     

    Which post is it specifically that you are referring to 'The Old Man' which gives you the impression we are 'lacking basic rule understanding' was it the one about which monster do you fight first? ... i don't actually remember any of the others gui%C3%B1o.gif  ...and I don't remember any post containing a complaint?

     cheers for all the help... baby bath time has stopped play however we seem to be very close to closing all the gates , 3 investigators are in the OW, if they return and close there 3 gates we will have no open gates and 4 gate trophies!!!!  ....we did have 2 investigators devoured on the way though but figures crossed later today we may win our firsy ever ever ever game (having played for nearly a year!!!) HURRAY and up yours nyarlathotep HAHAHAHAH!!!!

     ...One thing though, we pick our players and 'great old ones' randomly and  always will. Although we may go for a weaker 'great old one' next time... are there any other good strategies you could point out? And I must say we do have a  good handle on 'how phases work' etc, we aren't struggling to comprehend and understand the rules, just make them work in our favour to have a victory! ...Also I think strategies on game play systems are very different from ideas such as  pitting the strongest Investigators against the weakest 'great old one' gran_risa.gif, and having knowledge about what type of encounters to expect, not that this is not highly useful information....

     so i am watching the youtube tutorial thingy and the fella says if you fight and kill a monster in the movement phase your movement phase finishes there?? this is not in the rule book  ... i don't think.. so which is right? surely if you fight and kill the monster you can continue on your way? if you can't where in the rule book is this stated?

     Okay so Yig kicked us all over the place and now we face Nyarlathotep who we are actually doing rather better against... well that is to say we know what we are doing! ... ANYWAY this is possibly a stupid question but when one pops out of 'lost in time and space' (it says in the rules you can reappear in Arkam anywhere in the rules) can it be directly onto a gate to close it?.

    I imagine not, but it doesn't seem clear....

      We are totally addicted and have been playing all day ...how long is a game really supposed to loast?

     cheers Douggold you're answer is very concise and helpful. One small thing that confuses me a bit (possibly i am being a bit thick here!) ... the Herald card concept that is first introduced in the 'King in Yellow' pack. Now I see you say Herald cards are also in the 'threshold' pack, therefore would i need 'the King in Yellow' before getting the 'threshold' pack in order to use the Herald cards. I have read a review but it wasn't to clear however i do really like the idea of the new gate cards that come with the 'threshold' pack... pretty close to getting that one i reckon, that is if i don't need 'the king in yellow' first... 

    Cheers for all your helps!!

     i think added game play over board expansion... however having had a look into it a bit it does seem as though some of the  later expansions need the earlier ones to work...? am i right? or can you actually get them in any order? ... so i suppose my real question is can you actually get them in ANY order or do you sort of need to get them in the order they came out in...?
