have 2 summons in attack slots, opponent has no elder defense or defense summon slots filled, yet he's still taking no damage from my attackers

Hi all, I can make a change to show taint never rising if you have misk uni, in play - but note you never take the damage - at the end of your turn the taint resets to zero if you have misk in play.

I was wondering the point of "City of R'yleh" being a location? Apart from it being a location.. ;) No bonuses or minuses associated with it.

Miscatonic University doesn't work. In play but still received taint. Got hit by "Blessing of Hastur" and got tainted. Still 5/5 and will keep testing!

I wanna begin by saying that your previous game got me to start reading the Mythos, so kudos to you for that. I have a few questions that had been puzzling me about this game that I would really like to know:
1) Why is Wilbur Whateley an old man with a beard, isn't he supposed to be in his late teens/early twenties at the time of his death? Also, wasn't he an albino or something?
2) Why did you choose to make it so hard to lower an opponent's "innate" arcane (aka arcane derived from levels or from instant events like Mi-Go brain transfer rather than targetable sources)? The only way to lower the opponent's "innate" arcane value is to wait for them to play Mi-Go surgery or get them to use doppleganger at the right time.
3) Why did you decide not to include customizable decks? On that note, why isn't there a card gallery this time around?
Oh, and loosing your progress after redoing the first level is kinda annoying.

the game has much more confusing interface than previous one:
1. it's not obvious which rank is higher (I guess it's usa school rank which not everyone is familiar with)
2. is not obvious that You can attack with both of your creatures, and to do that you have to highlight both of them
3. insanity works different way than in previous game, no info about that
beside of that seems good one ;)

For the purposes of the holding back achievement, do monsters or things than have to do with taint count as arcane? Or cards that give or remove arcane but don't deal damage? And does discarding count as playing the card? I can't seem to get it to work.

"Just noticed that the Original Game is a lot higher rated than this one..." - aye - a pity I feel as I genuinely think this one is better. ;-/

Just realised the second one was out. I loved the first. This one is different, yes of course it is, but it's still a really enjoyable game. Whomp! x

AARGH! I went to check the achievements and accidentally clicked New Game. I clicked cancel and that I didn't want my stuff erased, but it erased it anyway! I had finished all 30 rounds with 'S' and everything. I really wanted to love this game, but there are too many bugs!!!

Molotov Cocktail doesn't destroy the Arkham Asylum. Is this what's supposed to happen? Neither of the cards states as such.

Hey folks, the scoring issue with the S ranks is a bug, and oddly hard one to replicate here for me and the chap who did the rank screen programming for me. But I've just uploaded a new version with a tweak that we think is the source of the bug. I hope its gone now. You'll have to refresh you're browser window if you've been playing for a while.

I don't think you guys get the point of the "s" score. Yes you improve if you completely destroy your enemy, But in Love-craft's stories the 'bad guys' do more damage and gain more power when they lose. Chulthu is lulled back into sleep, everyone dies. He will rise. The scoring system works for the story's sake. But i do agree that on a playbility stance there is much to improve with the scoring system.

Liked the 1st Necronomicon a lot better. This is incredibly buggy and slow loading. Not to mention you can't change the quality áfter the game loads. It's been said before, but I'm going to say it again (because its thát important): cards aren't taking full effect. If you're going to make exception rules, specify them! And, what is up with the -S- ratings being given when I played worse than F. I'm supposed to loose to win?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I absolutely loved the first one and i eagerly waited the second one. The gameplay on itself is quite funny with character, location ecc. but the score is totally and completely off. It ruins the game having to lose wile not using cord to get an S

Why is my gameplays counter on the site stuck at 228 for the entire day. I know there's been a lot of people playing the game at times so its annoying me. Sent a possible bug issue to kongregate.

I woke up Cthulhu, got raped by opponent at the same time and got S? Chief, I think you used non-euclidean Geometry and math.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I agree the ranking system needs some work, it seems like you need to manipulate your score rather than play well. I assume the only way to get an S rank early is to get Arkham Asylum and just keep on pumping your sanity. It'd be better if it was based on winning quickly.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Sorry, but it makes no sense that sometimes when you lose, you still get an "S", but even if you WIN you can still get an "F". You need to re-think your scoring model a little bit.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@ KrunkDaddy333 - I play tested that model for a LONG time, and in the end myself and a ton of others said it was pointless because unless you have balanced card base of a huge selection (at least 150 or more) it would only create an unbalanced game. People would end up choosing the same cards more or less, and it became too messy. There's 48 cards in the game, no need to a have a deck editor. Didn't bother with unlocking cards this time, just let people have them all at the start.

Played the old one and loved it, this is a nice updated version :). 5/5. In the old one didn't taint reduce sanity and not life?

@Xonimmortal - 'Book of Dead Names' is far catchier! :)
@demersgh - In testing I found it tough to get an S rank (as it should be) - but once you get a few rounds in, you can replay older rounds. As you get more S ranks, you have higher stats, and so can play the earlier rounds with an advantange. Being a card game there will always be the element of luck of the draw.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Amazing update to the old game, but scoring an 'S' seems to depend too much on luck of the draw. Maybe another way to gain score? Nice that sanity dosen't subract from the score though. All in all a five star sequel!!

I love the fact that you can still 'win' even if you commit suicide and lose. Absolutely fitting for one of Lovecraft's villains. Growing more powerful even past their demise.

The necronomicon is Back! I really love card games and this is one of the best! combined with the fantasy world of H. P. Lovecraft this game is awesome!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So, as for upgrades to the previous game, the several slots for creatures are awesome, iam not quite sure about the tomes tho, but the locations and artifacts look pretty sweet. Anyway, the new view of the screen is somehow... weird, i would love a "retro mode" as an ad to the game, it could make it even sweeter. Just a suggestion tho.

After years of hiding in the dark... the necromancers shall take over the world once again!!!!
Finally another necronomicom game, cant wait to play it. The artwork improved, the music is still great and the game couldnt be funnier. Ooooh!!! and it got achievements!!! 5/5 right away :).
