We took a brand new original starter set and a brand new ‘revised’ core set and put them head to head identifying 245 elements that were new or had changed. From card count to tokens to artwork to packaging and much more. Come see for yourself.

Thanks for the comparison! I just bought a revised core box after recently getting back into the game, and was going to give my existing core set to my son so he can have a second one for better decks. The changed art makes me rethink that, though I could always swap out cards with the art that I like, I guess. Love your videos!

Thank you for the great video. I recently saw some people playing the newer edition and was concerned as to if i should buy it or not. I dont have to. I actually do like the older art as opposed to the newer art. The old art feels darker, which is what i feel like the game tries to emit, and with the new art, in comparison, i dont feel like it is up to the same level.

A couple of the choices of the revised cards confuses me, such as 'Hard Knocks' and 'Will to Survive'. The art isn't bad but doesn't have much thematic connection to the card names as the previous art.

My guess for the artwork change on the characters is that the women were either scared or doing something stereotypically "woman like". While I understand some of the changes, some are strictly worse from an atmosphere perspective like Agnes' Dark Memory. It doesn't look like she's having a traumatic recall, but like she's casting a vicious spell. Same for Wendy's Abandoned and Alone, the original really sells the despair. The new one it looks like she's not that bothered at all. Overall they also added more women to the art, which is welcomed. I will miss my Cat Burglary though :c Other than that they generally made the art less creepy in some instances, like First Aid or Medical Texts. And now I don't understand what Hard Knocks represents anymore. The new art is a mixed bag on my end, I'll probably mix and match with the old in my collection.

All the extra Knife, Emergency Cache, and Flashlight are very useful as a genuine card back for the Parallel Investigator print-and-play (print slightly smaller only the front on thin paper then combine with perfect fit clear sleeve). Roland's Directive will take out quite a lot of them. I think when Parallel Wendy is released, remaining Knife, Emergency Cache, and Flashlight would be just enough for any need in deckbuilding.

Very good comparison review guys. Much appreciated. One thing I would mention is the plastic inlay (like the one in Marvel Champions) - if you fit the cards in snuggly the cards in the bottom corner of the partitions start having their corner edges turn in (due to insert corners being "curved") - This makes the card corners bend and so don't sit flat then in a deck when playing. Bad design in my opinion.

Great video as always. It looks like a lot of the artwork (outside of general touch-up) that was redone reduces gore and alcohol use. I wonder if this was a move to make the game more approachable for younger audiences or if FFG was responding to complaints about the (albeit not very) adult themed artwork.

Thing to note which I have noticed is that some of the weakness cards have only one copy in the revised core set and if I am not mistaken getting two original core sets would give you two copies of each weakness. The basic weaknesses that have only one copy in revised core box is as follows: stubborn detective, mob enforcer, silver twilight acolyte, haunted, hypochondria, and psychosis. The revised core box does come with two copies of amnesia and paranoia. Not entirely sure why this is, but it appears to be the case. I am new to Arkham horror so perhaps there is some reason for this. Another odd thing of mention is it does count the player aid cards (5 in total) towards the player card count, so it is more like 240 actual player cards for deck building.

So... with the art for Guard Dog changed... does this mean that whenever the upgraded one gets really published it will have the new art? Slight collection confusion (though I think I'll deal), but hopefully not TOO tricky to still instantly recognize an upgraded version of your first deck. This IS after all the same picture with a better-cared-for dog...

One thing that I completely missed with my purchase of the revised core set was that the cards with the new art don't match their experienced counterparts included in other expansions. I was all aboard for the new art but I had to come to the conclusion that the upgraded Unexpected Courage from the Stella Clark expansion for example still featured the old art. These discrepancies really bothered me and ultimately made me purchase the old core set anyway. So if you're sensentive to art consistenty like me, you might want to think twice about getting the revised set.

Ok, here’s the deal. I have one original core set, that’s it. My wife and I gave the game a go during lockdown and decided that maybe it wasn’t for us. I was given Mansions of Madness as a gift and after several plays of that, we’ve decided to give this another go. Now, what to do! Play two player with one core and move on from there to the new Dunwich investigator and scenario sets or get the revised core set and carry on from there? Will one core then Dunwich be sufficient? You mentioned, jokingly, a new ‘nightmare mode’ and I’ve been checking around and now (after everyone, pre revised set, was saying you would new two core sets) that you’d struggle without getting the new revised set. Probably best to just knock the whole idea on the head?

This is quite a complex game for someone unfamiliar with modern boardgames. We recommend you try before you buy or watch the official FFG tutorial to make sure this is the game for you before investing. If you do want to try but are unsure then try and track down a second hand copy of the old core. That way you will have spent least money if you decide you don't like it. You can always spend more money later :)

Yes. The revised core set is 99% strictly better in terms of components than 2x old core set. You do get slightly less of some things in the new set vs two old sets, eg new has 20 horror tokens, while two olds gives 28. But there's plenty of components to run 4 players. There's also (probably the best addition) the new cards and (less important) 2 slightly more copies of the base neutral cards (emergency cache, knife, flashlight, all up 10 from 8) so you can have all 5 of the starter decks made up at once.

@@stevebarnard8580 It should also be pointed out that it's a black woman driving the car (Stella Clark). My original comment is a little tongue in cheek, but we certainly do live in a new woke reality. FFG is no different than all of the other companies hopping on the band wagon. See WOTC for example. I'm sure FFG has some behind-the-scenes quota or ratio that they are trying to balance out. H.P. Lovecraft certainly carries his own, shall we say, colored past. FFG is trying to avoid that specter of injustice at all costs. All this reasoning aside, I do like their new approach to laying out a playable starter set and the end of booster packs. I would expect we will see things continue to be "rebalanced" with the re-release of old content.

MJ basically said that they did the art "just because" - they had an opportunity to make some art changes so they took it. The changes do seem to have a slight PC bias, but mostly it seems to be new art for the sake of new art. I personally dislike the new investigator look, but am ok with most of the other art changes, even though it seems someone was slacking on the job when it comes to thematically connecting the card name or theme with its art. Also, if I understood MJ correctly, Dunwich expansion will be pure repackaging - no art or card changes. It will be interesting to see if they at least incorporate the errata.

On the other hand, the old lady on Baseball Bat was sure not an over sexualizing art work, yet it possibly did offend some people because of the décolleté, but not for PC reasons. As did the original First Aid or Medical Texts for people, who want to play a horror game with their 8-year-olds.

Does the old and revised version of the game work with all new expansions for any particular reason? It seems like the version i bought from a target last Fall (2021) is actually the old version of the game, which leads me to wonder if they intentionally sold an obselete version of the game commercially. I have noticed that all copies of the game AND the expansion packs are now missing from target, which even makes me wonder if this change resulted in some sort of corporate issues due to returns etc. a little frustrating to see the truth about the updated box, but i see why the changes were made, playing the original as my first arkham horror game was a nightmare to sort through all the rules, and it was also very odd needing two copies of the core box to add 2 players.

I think the new box is an improvement. Now you have 2 copies o everything, as it should be, and a decent insert. New art is welcomed too. On the down side i dont like the 3-5 resource and clue tokens. You are not goint to use them much or you will losing time exchanging them.
@markusschmidt9260
@markusschmidt9260 3 жыл бұрын
I think, the bigger tokens are among the best upgrades, third only to the Chaos Tea Pot they included and of course the 2 copies per player card. "Rich Preston" or any deck build around Well Connected particular enjoys them. And there are also some scenarios with huge doom thresholds or large accumulation of clues until you spend them, where these get in handy. The time spent exchanging them is quickly saved, when you consider, how much time it would take recounting the tokens otherwise.

@@scottwallbank4794 It's kind of weird and inconsistent, that they still feature the Double Arcane slot in the "Learn to Play Guide", which is currently featured in only one card from TDE, but not Tarot, which has several cards from the earlier released TCU. And the Reference Guide is for, well, reference. It would have been handy to include the important other keywords in one place.

It makes so much sense to NOT include the new keywords to RR. It would only confuse new players as they might go through all the cards to find an example of a card with Alert. This is a great call on FFGs side.

After reed multiple opinions about of how good this game is… I have been trying to look for a reason to buy and immerse myself in this Arkham horror… but when I review the products I feel very annoyed by how FFG abuse in the cost-benefit for their clients… I believe that the first people how by one or two core boxes must be annoyed and feeling abused… Plus if this is the Revised core game… why FFG did not include at least the little content from the returned box ho increase the variety and difficulty of this campaigns… What a waste of opportunity again…

I bought into X-Wing and then they released 2.0 which would have costed me several hundred dollars just to update my cards and keep everything legal to use. Fantasy Flight makes amazing games but they routinely do so in a way that preys on their customers imo. They don't put enough forethought into their products and end up remaking them. Or they just don't care.

neither, be warned this is the crack cocaine of card games. But if you are set on ruining your life get the new one as it looks better arranged for new players, the old set had a lot of sorting cards out before you started playing, as you had to choose two characters to play (you didn't have enough cards for all the characters to play at once). If you are playing solo or with one other then this is not a problem. Also take my advice and don't take advice from random people on the internet how to live your life.
