This game is an express dice game adaptation of Eldritch Horror similar to the Arkham Express dice game. It borrows ideas from Eldritch Horror, Arkham Horror, Arkham Express and Elder Sign. The goal is to make a short and small game that could fit into a small fantasy flight expansion box.

As all lovecratian games, the goal is to prevent an ancient one from awakening by moving around the world to close gates and solve mysteries. You use the “dice express” mechanics to perform your actions and encounter hazards. You will gather clue, items, spells and artifact to make your quest easier and give you a chance to fight monsters. The combat system is deterministic, so you know for sure if you are going to die or become insane. So you might consider an injury or a madness instead, it's hard to live with it, but at least you remain alive.
