I was too excited to go straight home, I ripped off the bubble wrap of my new parcel outside the post office.

A blue fire pentagram? Arkham Horror? A man dressed like a 1920's detective adorning the cover my eagerness came to a head.

My amazing secret santa had gotten me Elder Sign - a Cthulhu mythos board game that looks amazing.

I sped home, thinking about which housemate I could rope in to start playing as soon as I got into the door. No one was home, I guess that was lucky for my housemates.

Texts flew to my role playing friends. "Are you busy tonight? I've got a new game!" I few yes's, some no's and a "WHY DID YOU WAKE ME?" came flying back as responses.

Thank you, magical gifter. I would love a game with you!
