Favorite Board Game for December 3rd

#22 Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu

So, there's this game called, Pandemic. It's a very popular (arguably the most popular) cooperative board game. In that game players work together to cure diseases. Pandemic never really hit with me. I didn't like the theme or the game play all that much. Until ... 

In Reign of Cthulhu player work together as paranormal investigators trying to stop a cabal of cultists before they succeed in summoning the great old one. In this variant of the game, the board is tighter, play is quicker and the theme is spooky and cool. Plus Reign of Cthulhu comes with great minis.

If you are familiar with Pandemic, then you know how this works. Players work together to stop the ever growing tide of evil cultists and Cthulhu monsters. Players have unique thematic powers and everything looks fantastic on the table. This is one of my favorite cooperative adventure games.
