Elder Sign (Game)

Elder Sign is a tabletop Mythos game produced by Fantasy Flight Games as part of their Arkham Horror Files range.
==Overview==
A cooperative cards-and-dice game for up to eight players, Elder Sign sees the players taking on the roles of investigators with the task of preventing the return of the Ancient Ones. In addition to unique investigator profiles, the players may access a variety of kit represented by equipment cards, further diversifying the game. The objective of the game is to collect a predetermined number of Elder Sign tokens (obtained through exploring randomly-generated "rooms") to seal away the Ancient One. If the Ancient One awakens (determined by the accumulation of a certain number of Doom tokens, gathered by failing encounters), then the game is automatically lost.
==Behind the Mythos==
Elder Sign was first published in 2011 by Fantasy Flight Games, having been developed by Richard Launius and Kevin Wilson, two of the most prominent games designers behind Arkham Horror. Since then a number of expansions have been released, with the intent of further diversifying each game through the addition of more investigators and Ancient Ones, more equipment options, and expanded game mechanics.
A digital version of the game was also released, titled Elder Sign: Omens. This remained largely similar to the original game, with a few adjustments to allow it to fit into a digital medium. However, the increased randomness of Omens has ensured that it is an extremely difficult game to complete.
