Witch of Salem
Players cooperate as scholarly allies in early 20th-century New England to stop an otherworldly invasion. The board shows Arkham with eight portals; players move, fight creatures, collect items and banish monsters to seal those portals before the doom track reaches its end. Each round follows a fixed sequence: spawn new threats, take player actions (move, fight, search, trade, use items and magic), then resolve an event card that advances the crisis. Victory requires closing all portals and confronting the active Great Old One with the right items; defeat occurs if the doom track fills, the Great Old One remains unidentified, or all investigators succumb to insanity.

Garfield2.0 After playtested it I don't want to keep it anymore. Just not thematic in my opinion. All you have to do is visiting a location over and over again and collect not very thematic items. There are too many better coop games out there to keep this.
