The tense excitement of Elder Sign is now available on your mobile device! Elder Sign: Omens places you in control of up to four intrepid investigators, as they fight to keep all-powerful Ancient Ones from invading our world through a museum’s arcane exhibits! 

*Build a team of unique investigators* 
*Explore an ever-changing museum* 
*Face challenging arcane tasks* 
*Save the world from absolute destruction*
*Expand the horror with two exciting in-app purchases*

Can you stand against the impending arrival of a malevolent Ancient One? 


While Elder Sign: Omens brilliantly conveys the spirit of the Elder Sign dice game, a few noteworthy differences were adopted to optimize the mobile play experience: 

-A limited number of available Ancient Ones streamlines the game play experience while offering adjustable levels of difficulty. Face Yig in normal mode, Azathoth or Tsathoggua in hard mode, or Cthulhu or Ithaqua in very hard mode (in-app purchases required to face Cthulhu and Ithaqua).
-A number of subtle changes increase the peril of defending humanity. For example, the random negative effects drawn every midnight are more challenging, and the frequency of “no effect” results has been decreased. Monsters have likewise been altered to make them more difficult. 
-Finally, there are no Ally cards in Elder Sign: Omens, which further streamlines play while increasing the overall challenge.

## Elder Sign Reviews in United States

### ***** "Beautiful and immersive"
This a beautiful adaptation of an excellent Yahtzee style dice game.  When I started playing, I got very frustrated because it didn’t seem like there was any strategy to the game. Also I lost a lot. Soon though, you learn strategies for party selection, who should be sent to certain locations and when, and how to manage the dice and the items/clues. It’s quite fun. If you’ve played the physical game, there are some differences. For instance, in the physical game you can replace an investigator who is dead or insane. In the app, you cannot. The expansions aren’t implemented in the app quite like the IRL ones but they’re quite good for all that. Just different. Not that I wouldn’t love those IRL expansions, but it’s an old app and what you see is what you get. Hopefully you also will get, and like.

### ***** "Consistently a go-to"
I love this game. I love the physical version of the game. They’re about 80% the same game, so don’t expect a direct 1-for-1. That being said, I’ve put hundreds of hours into this app, and I find everything from the UI to gameplay veeeeery good and satisfying. One of my favorite board game apps, hands-down.

### ***** "Outstanding"
Elder Sign is my favorite IPad game ever since it came out.
-- Lucia2sky, 2023-09-29

### *---- "Desperately needs a tutorial"
I want to like this game but as is it is unplayable.  The instructions/help are useless.  The developer needs to add a tutorial.  I've tried half a dozen games and have absolutely no clue how to even play.
-- Koiutflycb, 2023-03-19

### *---- "Rp game"
Waste of money!
-- Zfehswi, 2021-10-13

### ***** "Absolutely perfect game!!!"
I really enjoyed playing it on iPad. During these 3 days Since the time of purchase, I have played it nearly a hundred times. It is really addicting. I am definitely going to buy the physical game as well.
-- Angel sima, 2021-09-22

### *---- "Play Balance?"
Way back when the Earth was still cooling game designers had a concept called play balance, with the goal of making the game challenging and interesting without being frustrating. Apparently those days are gone. This game is too random, like a Vegas slot machine, with advanced challenges thrown at the player at any level and often in the very first turn. The result is that you can have a lot of experience with the game and think through every move and still get sandbagged early. Not fun. Been a Mythos fan since the age of ten.

### ***** "Busted by iPadOS 14.2"
I dearly love this game ... but since the 14.2 update, it fails to open. Sure hope it gets fixed.

[ edit 4/2021: it works again after Apple updated the app’s signature! Doesn’t seem like FFG lifted a finger, but anyway I’m back to being happy. ]
-- tgl42, 2021-04-23

### ****- "Crash at startup fixed"
Delete and fresh install fixed the problem
-- Earthclaw, 2021-01-29

### ***-- "Won’t open"
Loved this game but now it won’t open. Hoping it gets fixed...
