About the game
"Arkham Horror: The Card Game" is a cooperative Living Card Game set in the mythos of Lovecraft, where 1-2 investigators (and with a second set – 3-4) will jointly get acquainted with the world of occultism, ancient gods, and secrets, while also battling their internal demons from the past.
Each player takes on the role of one of the investigators and builds their own deck based on their character's abilities. The gameplay is based on interrelated scenarios that set the pace of the game and create an artistic narrative. Games in this setup are extremely atmospheric! The scenario set turns into a campaign. In each scenario, investigators find themselves in various locations and explore them in search of clues necessary for advancing the investigation and uncovering secrets.
During the game, investigators encounter enemies and curses, attempt to overcome all adversities, and defeat the enemies of the Mythos. As the campaign progresses, each investigator gains experience, allowing the player to improve abilities and gain new opportunities by adding stronger cards to their deck.
The further and deeper you delve into the world of the unknown, the closer your madness becomes! Players must keep track of their investigators' sanity, protect them from horrors and monsters encountered along the way, and uncover the mystery of Arkham!

The world of his obsessive fantasies took shape slowly but surely. At first, he was an amateur journalist, maintaining extensive correspondence with other writers and only later began to create on his own.
The characteristic dark images of Lovecraft emerged in his very first mature story – "The Tomb." However, the Cthulhu Mythos only appeared in 1926, when the writer created a cosmic pantheon of nightmarish monsters that immortalized him among his descendants. A spirit of decay and decomposition permeates Arkham, Dunwich, Innsmouth, Kingsport – dark cities of degenerates, madmen, and unholy beings. Lovecraft's stories and novellas are bleak and hopeless. Few of his contemporaries managed to achieve such flights of imagination and so masterfully create an ineffable atmosphere of horror and helplessness before the ancient...

If there is a monster on the card, it is attached to the investigator, who will have to either fight it or try to slip past.
