The Board Game
Any Call of Cthulhu game is going to test your patience and your character's sanity. Innsmouth is as difficult as ever. This expansion even gives you options to make it MORE difficult.
I ended up getting taken out by the second monster and making a new character instead of spending the rest of the game nursing him back to starting level.
I enjoy the works of Lovecraft, especially the PC game Dark Corners of the Earth and the stories concerning Innsmouth. So playing the expansion with a risk of your character turning into a Deep One (fish-person) adds more excitement/danger to an already craaazy game.
By our record keeping, we've only win Arkham Horror once a year. Even with cheating, massive unintentional and some intentional, the game just beats you down again and again. Although it's endearing since that fits with the style of the mythos.
My favorite part of the Innsmouth expansion is developed personal stories for each character. Not many people bother to read the back of their character cards, but I enjoy delving into the dark world of unnamable terror that is Cthulhu.
