Watch “What's In the box? Ep42 Ancient Terrible Things 1st Edition with expansion (Re-) Unboxing,” a board game unboxing on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Franksie's Mediocre Tabletop Gaming on YouTube:

This pulp horror game was one of the first of many years of backing games on kickstarter. I picked this up on the first kickstarter, then later backed for the lost charter expansion and the madness of Mcguffin expansion. Now that they're doing the kickstarter for the 3rd edition, but its changed so much its deemed as reawakening, I thought I'd have a quick reopen and look through it all, I've still yet to use the Mcguffins in an actual game since I picked them up, I need to change that! Published by Pleasant Company Games and done through kickstarter by Rob Van Zyl. Music sample from Pixabay.

About Ancient Terrible Things, from BoardGameGeek:

In Ancient Terrible Things, a pulp horror adventure game for 2-4 players, you play the role of an intrepid adventurer, exploring a dark jungle river. Each turn you must travel to a Fateful Location, face an Ominous Encounter, and attempt to unlock its Ancient Secrets. If you succeed (using a combination of dice, tokens and cards), you add the Secrets to your score; if you fail, you unleash a Terrible Thing, which counts against your score at the end of the game. The object of the game is to be the player with the most Ancient Secrets when the game ends at the Unspeakable Event. Game play involves rolling dice to achieve combinations: runs, pairs, three or more of a kind, and single die showing a particular number or higher. Dice combos are used to overcome Encounter cards that are worth points at the end of the game, and/or to acquire the four resource tokens in the game: Focus, Courage, Treasure and Feat. Focus tokens are used to re-roll individual dice. Courage tokens are spent to overcome an Encounter, before rolling your dice. Treasure tokens are spent to purchase Swag cards from the Trading Post, which give you a permanent game effect. Feat tokens are spent to play Feat cards from your hand, which activate one-shot effects.
