About the game
"Arkham Horror: The Card Game" is a cooperative Living Card Game set in the mythos of Lovecraft, in which 1-2 investigators (and with a second set – 3-4) jointly explore the world of occultism, ancient gods, and mysteries, while battling their inner demons from the past.Each player takes on the role of one of the investigators and builds their own deck based on the abilities of their character. The core of the gameplay is interconnected scenarios that set the pace of the game and create a narrative. Games in this installment are extremely atmospheric! The set of scenarios transforms into a campaign. In each scenario, investigators find themselves in various locations and explore them in search of clues necessary for advancing investigations and uncovering secrets.During the game, investigators encounter foes and curses, attempt to overcome all adversities and defeat the enemies of the Mythos. Throughout the campaign, 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 unknown, the closer your madness becomes! Players must keep track of their investigators' sanity, protect them from the horrors and monsters encountered along the way, and unravel the mystery of Arkham!About Lovecraft
Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born on August 20, 1890, in Providence, the capital of Rhode Island – the smallest state in America. His father was traveling salesman Winfield Scott Lovecraft, and his mother was Sarah Susan Phillips, an overly caring and seriously ill woman.As the future master of horror from Providence grew up, he was likely burdened by his mother's illness and the shadow of death that hung over the house. The world of his obsessive fantasies took shape slowly but surely. He started as an amateur journalist, engaging in extensive correspondence with other writers, and only later began to create independently.Characteristic dark images of Lovecraft emerged in his very first mature story – "The Tomb". However, the Cthulhu mythos only arose in 1926 when the writer created the cosmic pantheon of nightmarish monsters that made him famous among descendants. The spirit of decay and degeneration permeates Arkham, Dunwich, Innsmouth, Kingsport – dark cities of degenerates, madmen, and wicked souls. Lovecraft's stories and novellas are bleak and hopeless. Few of his colleagues managed to achieve such flights of imagination and masterfully create an indescribable atmosphere of horror and helplessness before the ancient…How to play?
Players control the actions of their characters through their investigator deck. Scenarios lead campaigns, offering the most interesting adventures.Each round begins with the Myth phase. In this phase, a terror token is placed on the agenda card, and each player draws a card from the contact deck. If there is a curse on the game card, a check occurs based on the specified skill on the curse, and if you fail, some negative effect is triggered. If there is a monster on the card, it attaches to the investigator, and they must either fight it or attempt to slip past.Then comes the Investigation phase, where players perform up to 3 actions from the available ones in any order:Draw a card
Gain resources
Activate an action from a previously played card
Summon a monster to them
Attempt to evade a monster
Attack a monster
Attempt to gather clues
Move to another location
Play a card from hand for resources
After the players' turn, the Monster phase occurs. There are many different opponents; some enemies move toward the heroes, while those already close attack, automatically piling terror and wounds onto the investigators.At the end of the round, the Respite phase occurs, during which all players draw a card and receive one resource each.Who won?
Since the game is team-based, all players win or lose together. Players progress through the scenario and reach a resolution. Some of them are more favorable and can be considered a victory. Others leave the investigators in challenging and dangerous situations. Specific moments and consequences are directly tied to the specific scenario. Game duration: from 60 to 120 minutesNumber of players: from 1 to 4
