Description Description

Description from the publisher: Walpurgis Night, May’s Eve, is always a nightmare in witch-haunted Arkham. There are bad doings, and a child or two frequently goes missing. This year, Miskatonic University students engaged in occult studies have been turning up dead. Arkham Police, in deference to your unusual expertise, have asked for your help to get to the root of the matter. Time is of the essence because after Walpurgis Night, the trail will grow cold and the culprits will retreat to the shadows until the next Witches' Sabbat, when the next cycle of deaths will begin. As private investigator Howard Lovecraft, you will investigate events based on the stories "The Dreams in the Witch House" (1933), "The Thing on the Doorstep" (1933), and "The Unnamable" (1923). Arkham Noir is a solitaire card game inspired by the interconnected stories of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors, re-imagined as noir detective stories. Each case stands alone. Gameplay consists of adding cards to open cases, creating lines of investigation in an effort to solve them. The ultimate goal is to score five "puzzle" clue cards in order to piece together the big picture before running out of time or mental stability. Each newly shuffled deck is the start of a unique challenge, with adjustable difficulty levels to accommodate all level of players.

Waou, ce jeu m'embarque à chaque fois ! C'est sure, j'y reviendrai très régulièrement :) Coup de coeur !

I cannot stop thinking about this game! It's thematic and tells a great detective noir story. Easy rules (mostly), hard choices and lots of replay. This may very well become my #1 solo game.

A well balanced mix of a rather difficult puzzle, atmosphere and flavour in the art design, good and bad surprises with randomly drawn cards, a stressful timer - while you at the same time can control the game a lot if you have spatial intelligence and the ability to combine the different elements/cards for your advantage. Although you never know in Lovecraft's universe...;)

While there's a lot of luck in the game, I often agonize over tough trade-off decisions and for me it strikes just the right balance between interesting decisions and avoiding brain burn that fits the simple rules and half hour playing time. Contrary to some of the other commenters here, I find the game very thematic. Solving murder cases clue by clue in a race against the clock to avoid more people getting killed. All the while working to solve the overarching plot and avoid going insane from the horrors. On the other hand, I can see how the game can be played purely from the symbols on the cards ignoring thematic elements.

This is such an amazing game! The presentation is top notch, although it may seem to dry to some. The central mechanism of connecting clues between each other feel great, and game posts a pretty hard task to a player. The player can change complexity levels in any way he wants and then combine different options too. But what impressed me the most was how packed the game was with different mechanics and little rules. For such a small box it is almost unprecedent! Each turn is a brainburner, and I enjoy it quite a lot. One of my favourite solo games!
