The tense excitement of Elder Sign is now available for Android! 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!

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.

Update, game no longer runs on android. It is both complex and difficult. Exciting and fun. It brings the fun of both a board game and a card game without seeming like either. Must play for all RPG fans

Game needs extensive revision. It is not statistically probable to generate three peril results and 5 investigative numbers within the capabilities accessible. Your challenges need to be realistic and attainable within the realms of statistical probability and avoid game breaking limitations. Have a mathematician review and correct the challenges with statistical shortcomings. Good music and theme though.

Decent version of an excellent boardgame. Beautiful and atmospheric but often at the cost of clarity and functionality. I know the boardgame like the back of my hand but still had to play about six times before I had a basic sense of where things were, and still, when I lose the game I rarely know why.
