What this is
Arkham Horror: The Card Game follows investigators confronting occult mysteries across linked scenarios. Players build individual decks of skills, assets, allies, and weaknesses, then spend actions moving between locations, discovering clues, and resisting enemies while a chaos bag adds uncertainty to every important test. The revised core set supports up to four investigators and provides a fuller starting card pool for building decks and beginning the campaign system.
