What the others were in their own dimensional sphere or spheres he dared not try to think. H.P. Lovecraft, The Dreams in the Witch House Elder Sign lets players control investigators who must successfully endure adventures within the museum in order to gather clues, items, and the eldritch knowledge they need to seal the rifts between dimensions and prevent the Ancient Ones arrival. A clever and thematic dice mechanic pits their exploration against monsters and the sheer difficulty of staying sane and healthy while investigating the most dangerous exhibits and most terrifying instances of insanity.

Elder Sign recreates the Lovecraftian thrills of eerie suspense and mind-numb game players can finish in one to two hours. Rules, card text, and innovative dice mechanics expertly designed by Richard Launius and Kevin Wilson, the designers of Arkham Horror, all blend in a game thats quick to learn, quick to play, strategic enough to reward frequent replay, and eccentric enough to immerse players in the museums supernatural intrigue.
