Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It is 1926, and the museum’s exotic curios and occult artifacts open barriers between our world and the elder evils lurking between dimensions. Other Worlds begin to leak through and terrifying creatures of increasing strength steal through them. Animals, the mad, and those of susceptible minds are driven to desperation by the supernatural forces that the portals unleash. In the midst of this chaos, a handful of Investigators must race against time to locate the eldritch symbols necessary to seal the portals forever and stop evil Ancient Ones from reducing humanity to cinders.Elder Sign is a fast-paced, cooperative dice-based Amerigame of supernatural intrigue for one to eight players by Richard Launius and Kevin Wilson, the designers of Arkham Horror, for which this is a sister game, both sharing Investigators, items, and artwork. Players take the roles of Investigators racing against time to stave off the imminent return of the Ancient Ones. Armed with cards for tools, allies, and occult knowledge, Investigators must put their sanity and stamina to the test as they adventure to locate Elder Signs, the eldritch symbols used to seal away the Ancient Ones and win the game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A single-player ready mobile app adaptation called Elder Sign: Omens is available. | |

| Elder Sign (Tabletop Game) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: One of the biggest differences between this game and Arkham Horror; whereas it took a great deal of effort (or really bad luck) to die there, here it simply takes a reduction of either stat to zero, something that can happen very easily and very frequently. It's not uncommon for the players to go through multiple Investigators over the course of a game. | |

Adaptation Distillation: The game can basically be described as a wholesale version of this to the original Arkham Horror; one Ancient One, simplified abilities, less emphasis on character backgrounds and lore, and tasks and events are more straightforward. And while the expansions have added back in some of the complexity, it is still nowhere near as crazy as Big Sis. | |
