There are lots of reasons to dislike AH, but this is the first time I've heard it called overly abstract. Clue tokens are also not power-ups, as they have two functions. Most importantly they let you know how to seal gates, not simply close them, which is neither a power-up nor sterile. It is in fact exactly thematic wrt the books.Also, Lovecraft, although highly imaginative and fabulous to read, is not lauded for his actual writing ability. At best he is a good writer.Finally, the roleplaying game based on his work is recognized as a top class game, strongly thematic, and one of the few that has endured and own strong.As far as Elder Sign is concerned, it is way lighter and more abstract that AH, to the point of not really being comparable. "Cthulhu Yahtzee" is not a bad summation, I like the game, but not enough to buy it. Fun though, so YMMV</blockquote>
