From Salem to Arkham

My most recent experience of a parlor game of last month Lovecraft at dijon / / SAITEN: I've played Salem: the shadow of Cthulhu a recent board games which is a kind of substitute known Arkham Horror not without interest: it's shorter to play, beautifully illustrated, and generally more accessible to neophytes. This part of SLOC was pleasant enough, and I have good memories even if we all fell face Shub-Niggurath ... I noticed that the mechanisms of the two games are similar: cooperative play, close gates, monsters gradually populating the board, "NPC" Great Old Ones to be discovered, etc.. But all this is much more thorough in ADT, as confirmed by the community was built around this game and created many extensions through unofficial forum and wiki .
So in the end even though I'm not a big fan of games with complex rules, I would suggest that ADT SLOC more ...

Finally, a board game due out in 2011: The Doom That Came To Atlantic City, a kind of Monopoly sauce Lovecraft. No picture available on the web so far, just some info : we destroyed houses (instead of building), there opens portals and sects and powers are accumulated fabulous. Why not? Delirium way Munchkin Cthulhu but more developed, has every chance to succeed!
