Board game - Arkham Horror: The Card Game. The Path to Carcosa (expansion)

Attention! This is an expansion. You will need the base version of "Arkham Horror: The Card Game" to play.
"The Path to Carcosa" is the second deluxe expansion for the card version of "Arkham Horror", offering you two starting scenarios: "Curtain... Call" and "The Last King", new cards, as well as interesting mechanics. The scenarios can be played separately or as part of a larger campaign consisting of eight scenarios that are purchased separately.
A new key word appears in the game - "Secret". These cards are very interesting in their function and add atmosphere to the game. These cards are added to the player's hand secretly, meaning that only the player knows the text of these cards. They cannot be discarded by normal means, and the card counts towards the hand size. However, unlike weaknesses, these cards will not become part of your deck. While the card is in hand, all its permanent properties apply, and the player can use its active properties.

One of the new player characters - Lola Hayes - has a unique feature. As a magnificent actress, at the start of each scenario, the player chooses a role: Guardian, Neutral, Rogue, etc. This affects what class cards the player can use in skill checks.
As the campaign progresses, players will accumulate confidence or doubts depending on the decisions made. These decisions may play a key role in the development of the plot later on.
"The Path to Carcosa" begins the story of the King in Yellow, which will continue in the first expansion "Echoes of the Past".
About the game
"Arkham Horror: The Card Game" is a cooperative Living Card Game set in the Lovecraftian mythos, where 1-2 investigators (and with the second set – 3-4) can jointly explore a world of occultism, ancient gods, and mysteries, while also battling their inner demons from the past.
Each player gets into the role of one of the investigators and builds their own deck based on their character's abilities. The gameplay is based on interlinked scenarios that set the pace for the game and create a dramatic narrative. As a result, each session becomes wildly atmospheric and intriguing! The set of scenarios turns into a campaign with a full plot and various outcomes. In each scenario, investigators find themselves in different locations and explore them in search of clues necessary for advancing the investigation and uncovering deep secrets.
During the game, investigators face enemies and curses, trying to overcome all adversities and defeat the Mythos foes. Throughout the campaign, each investigator gains experience, allowing the player to improve abilities and gain new options, adding stronger cards to their deck.
The deeper and further you plunge into the unknown, the closer your madness! Players must monitor the sanity of their investigators, protect them from the horrors and monsters encountered along the way, but most importantly - uncover the mystery of Arkham!
