Elder Sign is a cooperative dice game set in the Arkham Horror universe. Players control investigators exploring a museum and related locations while trying to gather enough Elder Signs to prevent an Ancient One from awakening.
Adventures present combinations of symbols that must be matched with custom dice. Items, spells, clues, and investigator abilities can modify the dice pool or results, while failed attempts can cost sanity or stamina and advance the wider threat. The game combines dice-pool management with cooperative risk assessment.
