I used to love Scotland Yard. I still have my old copy from 25 years ago somewhere. I wish I still had a gaming group to play games like this with.

Another great FF game is Runebound. And you don’t even need a group to play it (although it makes it much more fun).

I own both the old GW version and the new FF version. I loved the GW version, and played it a lot. The new version, IMO, is even better. I highly recommend it, even if you’ve already got the old one.

Don’t know if you’ve ever played, or even heard of, the Games Workshop original version. I’ve only played that one, and have loved it for years. It’s also a game my kids will ask to play, so that’s good news. I’ve read the FF rules once, and found several interesting changes from the original. I’d love to try the new one to see how it compares. I’m also amused by the fact that this game, which certainly has an American feel, was designed by a British game company! A classic.

Up until i read this post i thought i was the only one who owned *and liked* Scotland Yard. Unfortunately I was an only child and few of my friends ever wanted to play it. I’m going to dig it out of my closet and get a game night going!

I noticed in your list of fantasy flight games that you didn’t mention Arkham Horror. Who can’t get a fuzzy feeling inside for a coop game where you work together to try to prevent the Great Outer Gods from returning and destroying (or enslaving or feeding off) the entire world? Each player is an investigator with certain skills attempting to gather clues and close gates to other dimensions before the Old One awakes. But if he does, you can have a climactic battle that you might win (about 50-50 depending on the Old One).

I’m not much for cooperative games but would like to give this one a try. One coop game that is now a favorite is Pandemic, which I HIGHLY recommend.

I agree with your review of this game, especially the immersion that it brings. Love it. I find myself recommending it to folks who enjoyed Shadows Over Camelot because of that, I think.

Sadly, my regular gaming group doesn’t love it quite as much as I do and so it rarely gets to see the air. Nuts!
