This is certainly a great addition to your Arkham Horror set. My only quam with it is that you have to have the card list if you ever want to take it out of your AH deck, because unlike goat of the black woods, this does not have a marker, but it's not that big of a deal. Playing just the pharaoh game is recommended when you first get it, then you should probably just integrate it into your deck, especially if you have Dunwitch, Kingsport, or both. The ability to take the relic cards instead of the magical items it's pretty interesting if you want to risk it, because some of the relics aren't that great, but there are some that are quite excellent. This is recommended for any lover of Arkham Horror, and anyone who wants to complete the set.

I ordered and expected the earlier edition of the game so I would have more options with the game but received the newer revised edition. Now I still need to find the older edition.

First expansion I got for Arkham Horror. This adds.... more. More mythos cards, more location cards, more everything. Once you've played a handful of games and say "oh, I remember what this card is going to be"... buy this.
