To the board game geeks attending PAX and arriving early, is there interest in getting an Arkham Horror game going sometime? Unless I'm mistaken, Thursday afternoon is currently open. The game can take around 5 hours (with explaining the rules to newcomers), so if we start between 11am-noon we should be done with time to get to Von's.

Four players seems like an ideal number, but it's also the only number of people I've played with. It supports anywhere from 1-8, and I'd like to see what a game is like on the higher end of that.

You can find a description of the game here: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15987

Long story short: It's a fully cooperative game where you work together to defeat an Ancient One from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.

I wanted to buy this when we stopped playing D&D but alas, it never happened. I'd be down for a game or two.

One game can take around 4-6 hrs, so be prepared.

It's probably the only game I've ever played that it was just as incredibly fun to lose as it was to win.

I'm down if you do a game later in the weekend.

Stop in tabletop at ANY time during the weekend and you can find people playing, or wanting to play Arkham.

Well this year I shouldn't be quite as busy as last year so the odds of you getting more than a nod are good.

I enjoy this game in small doses (as in, maybe a game a month) since it's so long, but I definitely love it. My former roommates, my boyfriend and I have together bought the game and every single one of its expansions. We haven't played with the most recently released expansion yet (we had planned to yesterday, but it didn't work out), but I'm looking forward to it. :D
