Arkham Horror: Co-op Board Game!

Apparently, Ars Technica has heard of it too!

"Sheer ridiculousness counts a lot, especially thanks to the random equipment drops," Daedalus213 said in our thread on the game. "Nothing beats being, say, the bookish student, riding around on a motorcycle with a fire ax in one hand and a .45 in the other, chugging whiskey to stay sane." That's the joy of the game, how silly the battles and situations can become. It sometimes feels as if the odds are hilariously stacked against you, and it feels like a real victory when you win.
I'm not sure if I played it with anyone from Mohtalim, but it's great fun, even if I think the psychiatrist (sanity regen) is (over-powered)/(the best).
