The first Mythos Pack in The Circle Undone cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game Your lead regarding the Silver Twilight Lodge’s charity gala has left you with more questions than answers, and the events that followed have made you question your own sanity. First, there was the cryptic tarot reading from a mysterious soothsayer, then the disappearances, and what you saw in the woods... it’s not possible. To make matters worse, you seem to have drawn the attention of the Silver Twilight Lodge. They are as eager as you to have your team of investigators look into the disappearances, but what are their true motives? How close can you get before becoming tangled in their web? The only way to find out is to move forward, but to do so you must peer into Arkham’s past. IX • The Hermit Following the events of The Circle Undone, you are desperate to find more information about the dangerous new coven of witches that has taken up residence in Arkham. Such knowledge is difficult to come by, even in a place like Arkham, but you do know of one witch whose story has been passed down for nearly two hundred years: Keziah, who escaped from the Salem Gaol in the late 1600s, and whose ghost still supposedly haunts the condemned Witch House in French Hill. When you arrive at the old Witch House, you find it in a sorrier state than you could have ever imagined. Surrounded by a crooked picket fence, the building looks as though it may fall apart at any minute. The fact that it has managed to stand for more than two hundred years is astonishing, but from what you see, it’s as if some dark will is the only thing that keeps it from crumbling into the Earth. The front door is locked, but you easily enter through one of the windows by pulling down the rotten wooden boards that cover the shattered glass. But breaking in may only be the beginning of your troubles… A Dream in the Witch House As a new cycle begins, you will need new tools to battle unholy forces far more powerful than yourself. You will have to stretch your mind beyond what you had previously thought possible and learn from your allies to become stronger, faster, and smarter than your enemy. To help you with this task, you'll find a brand-new type of player card in The Secret Name—cards that break boundaries and belong to more than one class. These cards, identified by their golden hue and dual class icons, can be added to your deck if you have access to either of the classes detailed on the card. For example, Scroll of Secrets (The Secret Name, 116) is both a level zero Seeker card and a level zero Mystic card, meaning that an investigator like Diana Stanley (The Circle Undone, 4) can add it to her deck even though she does not have access to other Seeker cards. If, however, an investigator has limited access to one of the classes on a multiclass card, that card occupies one of the investigator’s limited slots! For example, let’s say that "Ashcan" Pete (The Dunwich Legacy, 5) wants to add some Tennessee Sour Mash (The Secret Name, 117) to his deck. While the drifter has unlimited access to survivor cards, he can only have up to five level zero cards from any other class. Tennessee Sour Mash is both a survivor and a rogue card, and therefore it fills one of his five other-class slots. But with these multi-class cards’ diverse uses, like increasing your willpower with a swig before smashing the bottle over an enemy’s head, they are well worth including in any investigator’s arsenal. Breaking and Entering Can Arkham’s history give the answers you need to safeguard the city’s future? Is Keziah somehow related to the coven that has sprung up more than two centuries later? Enter the Witch House and discover the secrets hidden within its walls!

The first Mythos Pack in The Dunwich Legacy cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game! It begins with a book… Somewhere in the Miskatonic Museum, Olaus Wormius’s Latin translation of a book called the Necronomicon lies hidden away, kept locked and secret so that those individuals who shouldn't gain access to it do not. When recent events at the university and the Clover Club lead you to believe that someone may now be searching for this strange and ancient tome—someone who should not be permitted to delve its secrets—you make your way to the Museum. The hour is late, and the front door is locked. But you know you must recover the book before anyone can access its arcane secrets for dark purposes. The cards and adventure from The Miskatonic Museum grant you access to the Museum and its many exhibitions. Whether you conduct your investigation as a relatively simple book recovery or incorporate it into the campaign from The Dunwich Legacy, you'll find it marked by a frightening urgency. You aren't alone within the museum's darkened chambers; something else stalks the exhibits… Artifacts on Display The Miskatonic Museum offers plenty more than a book hunt, and as you navigate its halls in search of the dread Necronomicon, you may find yourself tempted in plenty of other directions. The Miskatonic Museum contains twenty-six player cards, ranging from levels zero to two, and their secrets may help you unlock new Talents and Tactics. They may afford you new Insights, or you might equip them as Tools. Altogether, you'll find that artifacts on display in The Miskatonic Museum suggest plenty of ways to spend the experience points you accrue over the course of your The Dunwich Legacy campaign. Some of these cards will even adjust the ways you gain and spend your experience, making them quite unusual in the realm of customizable card games. Exhibit: Adaptable Among the other things we find on display in The Miskatonic Museum is the first card in Arkham Horror: The Card Game with the Permanent keyword. Unlike most keywords, Permanent has no impact on gameplay. Instead, it's a special deckbuilding keyword with a set of abilities outlined in the game's rules: * A card with the permanent keyword does not count towards your deck size. * A card with the permanent keyword still counts as being part of your deck and must therefore adhere to all other deckbuilding restrictions. * A card with the permanent keyword starts each game in play and is not shuffled into your investigator deck during setup. * A card with the permanent keyword cannot be discarded by any means. Accordingly, an experience point investment in the Permanent Talent Adaptable (The Miskatonic Museum, 110) is just what it sounds like—an investment in your investigator's ability to adapt to the mysteries he or she uncovers over the course of a campaign. And given how much the card may allow you to adapt your deck to the challenges you could never predict at the campaign's outset, you'd be wise to consider Adaptable among your very first acquisitions once you have a point or two of experience in hand. Exhibit: Delve Too Deep While Adaptable suits the Rogue class as a card built around exploiting every available resource, one of the Mystic cards from The Miskatonic Museum serves to exemplify the high-risk and high-reward focus of the class as well as any other. Offering what may very well be the most purely detrimental game effect ever printed on a player card, Delve Too Deep (The Miskatonic Museum, 111) "allows" you and your fellow investigators to draw and resolve one card each from the top of the encounter deck. More or less, this event costs you one resource to play and then gives the encounter deck another turn to rip at your body and melt your mind. So why would you ever want to play this card? The answer is printed in bold at the bottom center of the text box—below the flavor text. "Victory 1." Once you play it, the card is worth a point of experience that you can then invest toward other cards. Sure, you have to survive all the nasty effects you and your fellow investigators invoke when you Delve Too Deep, but this is the world of Arkham Horror… Madness is par for the course, and since there's no guarantee you'll go mad just for playing the card (nor be devoured), why wouldn't you want more experience? After all, whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger—right? Not Your Ordinary Museum With cards like Adaptable and Delve Too Deep that explore the effects between your games—rather than within them—Arkham Horror: The Card Game is leading you to places you will have never previously explored within customizable card games. It's half card gaming and half roleplaying, and it's all moving toward something deeper, darker, more profound, and more horrifying than you could have ever imagined... • The first Mythos Pack in The Dunwich Legacy cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game • A new adventure pits you and your fellow investigators against a shadowy terror • Serves as the third scenario in the campaign from The Dunwich Legacy delule expansion • Twenty-six player cards allow you to adapt your deck and equip your investigator for new challenges • Requires a copy of the Arkham Horror: The Card Game Core Set and The Dunwich Legacy

Whatever you did, you must reverse it. In The Forgotten Age, you journeyed deep into the rainforests of southern Mexico to discover the remains of an ancient Aztec city. During your scientific expedition, you unearthed a priceless artifact, and you then had to decide how to protect it. The consequences of your decisions have now returned to haunt you as your world erupts into chaos. Three difficult tasks fall before you at once and time is of the essence. Which will you pursue? Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Threads of Fate, the first Mythos Pack in The Forgotten Age cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game,. Choose Your Fate Following the events of The Forgotten Age, you relinquished control of what may be the discovery of a lifetime. It was difficult choice, but you did what you had to, and now you have returned home, where a peaceful respite is in order. Your relaxation is cut short, however, when a forgotten guardian of the Aztec city appears on your doorstep, declaring that your actions on the expedition have set events into motion that have put the entire Earth in danger. Her claims are baseless and wild, but when strange, unexplainable events begin to occur throughout Arkham, you suspect that her mad claims may be right. In perhaps the most immersive investigation in Arkham Horror: The Card Game so far, you must weigh your evidence, discuss your choices, and trust your instincts to decide which leads to follow and which to leave unexplored. You must choose between Three Fates (Threads of Fate, 114) as three tasks stand before you and you only have a limited amount of time before the trail goes cold. Where do you search first? Your adventure will be irrevocably shaped by the decisions you make, so choose carefully. A Terrible Dilemma Over the course of your investigation, you will weave your way through the stories spun by an incredible twenty-four potential Act cards. The Threads of Fate scenario contains three different Act decks, each constructed separately. Throughout the scenario, all three Act decks will be in play at once and the decision rests with you as to which Acts to pursue and which to ignore. The exact contents of each Act deck will vary depending on who was last in possession of the relic, the past decisions recorded in your campaign log, and even how you choose to pursue the tasks before you. One of the Act decks that you'll encounter centers around the choices you made in The Forgotten Age, where you first made your grand discovery. Did you leave the relic with your trusted friend, or did you decide that it belongs in a museum and pass the item off to the Miskatonic Museum for their Eztli exhibit? If you believe Ichtaca, the relic could be used for terrible purposes if left in the wrong hands. Who can you trust? Next, you are faced with another worrying task where life and death may hang in the balance. One of your expedition companions has gone missing and you suspect foul play. Do you go to the police or do you believe that you will have a better chance of finding them on your own? Among these other endeavors remains the question of what to do with your uninvited house guest. Do you trust Ichtaca? Should you continue to push her for answers about the relic and the people who pursue it, and would you believe her if she told you? You could bring her into the fold of your investigation, or leave her to her own devices and trail her to see where she goes. She could lead you to the answers you seek, but if you are wrong, you will lose precious time and perhaps a potential ally. Can you take that risk? Choice and Consequence As the first Mythos Pack in The Forgotten Age cycle, Threads of Fate offers you several new player cards that will shape the rest of your campaign. Arcane Research (Threads of Fate, 109) bears the Permanent keyword, staying with you for the entirety of your campaign once you have purchased it. But all power comes with a price. When you purchase Arcane Research, you immediately suffer one mental trauma as you attempt to quickly learn all you can about the mythos to survive the trials ahead. Still, once you have conducted your research you gain a lasting benefit—after each scenario, you may reduce the experience cost of the first Spell card you upgrade before the next scenario by one. Beyond the realm of Mystics, Seekers may test their ability to make a Shrewd Analysis (Threads of Fate, 106) to permanently alter their campaign experience as well. Once you have made a Shrewd Analysis in your investigation, any time you upgrade a card that is either Unidentified or Untranslated, you may upgrade a second copy of that card at no experience cost. If you choose this path, however, the two upgraded versions are chosen at random from among the eligible options. You may be able to glean some information about the civilizations of ages past, but their language, like their lives, is strange. There is no telling what your investigation into the truth will uncover. One Path Among Many Now that the discovery has been made, you cannot turn back the clock. Time is running out. What are you going to do?

In The Forgotten Age, you embarked on a scientific expedition to discover ancient Aztec ruins in the rainforests of southern Mexico and returned home with a priceless artifact that you had to protect in the best way you knew how. Then, in Threads of Fate, your world fell into chaos as you were confronted with a series of objectives as the sands of the hourglass were quickly falling away. Now you seek to undo your mistakes, but the choices and sacrifices that you have made to reach this point will inevitably shape your mission moving forward. That is, unless time is not as stable as you believe. Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce The Boundary Beyond, the second Mythos Pack in The Forgotten Age cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Digging Up the Past Arkham Horror: The Card Game has always blurred the line between madness and reality, and now in The Boundary Beyond, the distinctions between the past, present, and future start to become hazy. Following the events of Threads of Fate, you are driven from Arkham to Mexico City to find answers about an enigmatic relic and those who pursue it. After a seemingly endless string of failures, it appears the trail has gone cold. But on the very day you are ready to return home, something is wrong—the city has altered. Silver lightning crackles in the sky overhead, and the earth rumbles below your feet. Monstrous entities float just below the clouds and the architecture looks more like something out of a history book than modern Mexico. Despite the altered landscape, it does not appear that you have traveled to the past. Rather, it is more like all of time is happening at once and the city is continuing to evolve before your eyes. During your investigation in The Boundary Beyond, you may be instructed to place new locations over existing ones. This is not to say that you have moved, but rather that the places themselves have changed as the fabric of time begins to unravel. When a location changes, all tokens, attachments, investigators, and enemies at the original location are considered to be at the new location when it is replaced. For example, if you are at the modern Metropolitan Cathedral (The Boundary Beyond, 169), you may choose to use the Explore action, first introduced in The Forgotten Age deluxe expansion, to uncover the secrets hidden within its walls. When you draw from the exploration deck, you discover the Temples of Tenochtitlán (The Boundary Beyond, 177). This Ancient location has a matching connection symbol in the upper left corner, marking that the Temples of Tenochtitlán replace the Metropolitan Cathedral and you are now considered to be at the Temples. You have not fallen through time, time has shifted around you. As the thread pulls, the weave unravels. Throughout The Boundary Beyond, you may have increasing reasons to panic as you encounter Timeline Destabilization (The Boundary Beyond, 190). When this dreaded Hex is revealed, you must test your willpower. In the modern era, this test would not cause much worry. However, the test gains difficulty for each Ancient location in play and if you fail, you suffer one damage and one horror, and you must shuffle Timeline Destabilization back into the exploration deck as the clock appears to jump forwards and back of its own volition. Remember Who You Are To help you survive in this ever-shifting landscape, the player cards of The Boundary Beyond focus on helping you gain skill by embracing the nature of your faction. Mystics may learn how to perform a Ritual to Recall the Future (The Boundary Beyond, 158). While you possess this asset, you can put your foresight to the test by naming a chaos token during a skill test. If you successfully peer through the boundary and your named token is revealed, you may then exhaust Recall the Future to raise your skill for the test. Meanwhile, if you play as a confident Quick Study (The Boundary Beyond, 154), you may simply choose to place one of your clues on your location and exhaust Quick Study to significantly raise your skill for a test, knowing that you may easily regain this clue at a later time. Even with these increased abilities, the more bookish investigators may find need for some added muscle. In times of crisis, a Bold Guardian may wish to defend their fellow investigators and Take the Initiative (The Boundary Beyond, 150) to spring into action. This skill rewards you for taking your actions early with the ability to commit three wild skill icons to one of your tests. However, the longer you wait to use this card, the weaker it becomes. Take the Initiative loses a wild icon for each action taken by any investigator, so if even one of your companions has completed their full turn, the card loses its value. With the fate of the past, present, and future at risk, this is no time to be timid. Protect the Future What has happened to city around you? Is this the future or the past, and most importantly, how do you return to your own time? The only way out is through. Step beyond the boundary, restore the timeline, and return home once more!

The veil that divides worlds has drawn perilously thin in Arkham Horror: The Card Game! In The Forgotten Age, you embarked on a scientific expedition to the rainforests of southern Mexico, returning home only to find that your actions have put the world in perilous danger. As The Forgotten Age cycle progresses, you struggle to make your way back to where the trouble began—to undo your mistake and gain insight into the dangers that threaten the fabric of time itself. Now, your expedition leads you to a city that defies imagination. Trapped in this maddening metropolis for an untold time, you may find yourself identifying more and more with the monsters that you once fought so hard to ward off. The fourth Mythos Pack in The Forgotten Age cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. City of the Great Race Following the events of Heart of the Elders, you and your expedition team find yourselves in close quarters with creatures that go beyond anything you expected to find in the rainforest. Time stretches on as you begin to wonder whether you have been trapped for days or weeks. You fade in and out of consciousness, attempting to comprehend all that is happening around you as your mind battles exhaustion and rages against what you know to be impossible—a hideous race of creatures that cannot be of this Earth, hidden from the world beyond. Their twisted bodies consist of immense corrugated cones of clammy flesh, with four thick limbs extending from the top. They are haunting to look upon, but does strange necessarily mean dangerous? Some of these creatures are miraculously able to speak your language, and they question you about your world. They promise you freedom to roam their city if you answer their inquiries. A free exchange of information is only fair. You have come all this way seeking new truths of the world, and this civilization could easily be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of mankind. But do you dare to trust them? Stolen Minds As you spend more time in the city, interacting with its strange inhabitants, you may find it easier to sympathize with them. In fact, it may become too simple to identify with them. You even may discover that you’re feeling... not quite yourself. The City of Archives offer you the chance to experience an entirely new worldview and step into the shoes of your new hosts with the Body of a Yithian (The City of Archives, 244) card. This new form does not erase who are or any of your past experiences, transferring any of your physical or mental trauma to your Body of a Yithian, as if it were your investigator card. Still, you will certainly find yourself profoundly changed. Should you find yourself in this state, your investigator deck remains the same, but you must use the Body of a Yithian investigator card, preventing you from using any of your investigator’s special abilities. Unaccustomed to this form, each of your base skills are set at a value of two while you inhabit the body. However, you are able to double the icons on a card that you commit to a skill test once per test. In this way, you may still have an edge in the areas where you once excelled, holding on to at least one small piece of your identity. Sadly, this condition does not offer freedom from your signature weaknesses. Throughout the scenario, your Body of a Yithian card is treated as if it has the same title as your former investigator card. For example, if you were once the human known as Father Mateo (The Forgotten Age, 4), you must treat your Body of a Yithian card as if its title were “Father Mateo.” This means that if you draw Serpents of Yig (The Forgotten Age, 14), the Father’s signature weakness, they will still hunt you despite your altered appearance. If you wish to learn the secrets of this ancient city, you will need a new set of implements to further your investigations. In addition to the horrific adventures you will find within the city of the Yithians, this Mythos Pack provides you with new player cards to help you walk among the inhabitants of this world so similar to yet so alien from the one you know. If you are observant, you may be able to use your knowledge of the city’s layout to help you Slip Away (The City of Archives, 232) from any overly-curious Yithians. Or, you may uncover a precious Crystalline Elder Sign (The City of Archives, 235) safely tucked away among the shelves of the archives. With this powerful Mystic Relic, you may seal a +1 or the elder sign token—removing these highly beneficial tokens from the chaos bag, but in exchange for this sacrifice your willpower, lore, combat, and agility skills are all increased! Potentially trapped in a strange city and a strange body, this bonus may prove invaluable. Remember Who You Are Now that you're surrounded by these strange creatures, you must either adapt or perish. But be careful not to lose yourself in your fight for survival. Keep hold of your identity, find a way out, and uncover the secrets housed in The City of Archives!

Your descent into madness has taken you far into the wilds of Arkham Horror: The Card Game! In The Forgotten Age, you took part in a scientific expedition that brought you to the dark rainforests of Central America in search of a lost Aztec city, but what you uncovered has set a series of events in motion that puts the entire world at risk. As The Forgotten Age cycle progresses, you must learn as much as you can about the dangers you unleashed to undo your mistake and save the Earth from a terrible fate. Now, your mission has brought you to a monster-filled chasm where the only way out is down. The fifth Mythos Pack in The Forgotten Age cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Pit of Despair This Mythos Pack, which can be played as a standalone adventure or as part of the eight-part campaign, finds you on a perilous precipice looking into a seemingly bottomless cavern. Following the events of The City of Archives, you have reached the winding staircase that leads through the remains of another age and down into the unknown. Far below, a red glow illuminates a network of labyrinth caverns littered with the ruins of an ancient city, and from those depths there also emanates a strange, animal-like sound. Something is down there. And thus, your descent begins. The Depths of Yoth draws you down into the deepest reaches of the Earth, tracking the current depth level of your investigation in a separate space on the scenario reference card. While the depth level has no effect on its own, deeper levels of Yoth are deadlier. Some of the creatures that dwell there, such as an Eater of the Depths (The Depths of Yoth, 298), become stronger the further you descend into the cavern. You may find that it becomes more difficult to deny your terror as you journey deeper with treacheries like Lightless Shadow (The Depths of Yoth, 300) threatening to trap you in the ruined city for all time. But the answers you seek must be waiting at the bottom of this pit, though you wonder whether they are worth facing whatever awaits. Relentless Pursuers As you plunge into darkness with only the light of some unimaginable hell to guide you, you may wish to turn back—to find any other way out of this prison. But you are not alone in this cavern, and if you look back you are lost. Slithering creatures of Yoth stalk you through the twisting caverns, and even as you move deeper into the depths, they may follow by moving into the “pursuit area” beside the act and agenda decks. Enemies in this area are out-of-play, and although you can't attack them, at least they're too far away to reach you for now. Still, even if your assailants ease the chase, they are just out of view in the shadows, always watching. Waiting. Even if your enemies may have fallen behind you as you plunge deeper into the depths, the fury of the Father of Serpents may compel them to rush forward and attack on his behalf. When his Scheme, Serpent's Ire (The Depths of Yoth, 302), is revealed, the most powerful Serpent enemy in pursuit of your team moves forward to strike, forcing you to test your agility. If you fail, that enemy immediately attacks you—and even if you dodge the first attack, you must still contend with this Serpent who's now engaged with you. To discover what awaits at the end of your journey, you must survive the descent, so be sure to stay light on your feet and pray you don't trip, lest you fall into the pit below. Outrun, Outlast To help you dodge the monsters breathing down your neck during the descent, The Depths of Yoth provides you with new, powerful player cards to strengthen your investigators’ decks and prepare you for the trials ahead. If you have The Skeleton Key (The Depths of Yoth, 270) in your possession, you may easily investigate nearly any location, unlocking the ruins’ secrets with an ease to make even Rex Murphy jealous. Meanwhile, Mystics may use the experience gained over the course of The Fogotten Age cycle to increase the potency of their arcane talents with an upgraded version of Mists of R'lyeh (The Depths of Yoth, 271). This Spell has an incredible five charges which you may use to evade, using your willpower in place of your agility. And if that weren't enough, this Spell also dramatically increases your willpower for your attempt. Beyond the confidence this card offers you in your own abilities, Mists of R’lyeh rewards you further if you succeed. If you pass your skill test, you may move to a connecting location—continuing your investigation without becoming bogged down by enemies. However, as often happens when you call upon the power of the Mythos, using this card comes with a certain amount of risk. If you reveal any chaos token other than a numbered token or the elder sign token, you must discard a card from your hand. Despite the inherent risk of magic, this is the time to pull out all the stops and use every tool in your arsenal. For as long as you remain trapped in this unholy pit, no one is coming to save you. Light at the End The closer you move to the end of your descent, the greater the threat to your life becomes. But despite the terrors and the monsters, you may find a strange sense of serenity among the ruins. If nothing else, at least you know where you are going. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The sixth and final Mythos Pack in The Forgotten Age cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game Your scientific expedition in The Forgotten Age took you far from Arkham, to the jungles of southern Mexico where you uncovered what may be the greatest scientific discovery of your time, along with a secret that defied everything you know about the history of your world. Then throughout The Forgotten Age cycle, you returned home only to learn that your actions have put everything you love in danger. Searching for answers, you journeyed to Mexico City, then back into the wilderness and beyond, to places beyond your imagination. You have faced dangers both terrestrial and otherworldly, and stood strong as the very fabric of time ripped before your eyes. Now, you face your final test in the conclusion of The Forgotten Age cycle. The Gateway Following the events of The Depths of Yoth, hope is fleeting. What little remains burns in the bluish light emanating from the end of a passage before you. Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, you have almost forgotten the warmth of the sun, but there is no turning back for you. Whatever plan your enemies have been working toward lies ahead, and there is an unnatural power here—you can feel it in the Earth as it shakes beneath you. Pieces of the cavern start to fall, but they never reach the floor, floating in midair. The laws of reality are beginning to bend, and it cannot be long before they reach their breaking point. You must hurry. Once you reach the ancient Nexus of N'Kai (Shattered Aeons, 324), the difficulty of the task before you increases with each passing moment. Beyond confronting beasts, like the Temporal Devourer (Shattered Aeons, 338) that chases you through time and space, you must also attempt to hold on to your mind as all that is sane falls away. Concepts of time and space cease their meaning as cities long lost to the grind of years appear anew, great metropolises of your age stand desolate, and unfathomable, unearthly expanses reveal themselves, as tangible as any city you left behind. The sight of Shattered Ages (Shattered Aeons, 339) threaten your sanity, forcing you to test your Willpower and see your knowledge and understanding sucked out into the beyond. Worth Waiting For Beyond bringing you the thrilling conclusion of The Forgotten Age cycle, Shattered Aeons also provides you with a new collection of powerful player cards to prepare you for the terrors that have awaited you since you first stepped beyond the mortal realm in The Forgotten Age. As is tradition with the grand finale of an Arkham Horror: The Card Game cycle, this Mythos Pack includes a new, powerful exceptional card to entice players. Rogues may take delight in living on Borrowed Time (Shattered Aeons, 308), storing actions to unleash in a single marvelous turn. If you and Leo De Luca (Core Set, 48) have an Ace in the Hole (Where Doom Awaits, 266) to go with your Borrowed Time, you have the chance to take up to ten actions in a single turn! While Rogues may be more inclined to keep to the shadows, it may prove impossible to resist stepping into the spotlight when you can guarantee that your entire team will be impressed. But there are others who do not need the flash of exceptional cards to make their turns absolutely potent. Scholastic Seekers may claw their way to an advantageous Vantage Point (Shattered Aeons, 306) to get a better lay of the locations surrounding them, making it easier for themselves or an ally to investigate. Then, even the most down-to-Earth investigators have the chance to embrace the powers of the Mythos as Survivors gain access to their first Spell with Alter Fate (Shattered Aeons, 313). This fast event allows you to defy destiny and shape your own fate by helping you rid yourself or one of your fellow investigators of a non-weakness treachery. With the fate of all reality at stake, now is the time to pull out all the stops and examine the problem from every angle to find some kind of solution. The world is relying on you, and you cannot fail now. The End... Will you be able to stop the events that your own ignorance set in motion, or will your mistake destroy the world that you have worked so hard to save? Ready your investigators and prepare to throw everything you have into this battle. This can’t be how it ends!

The first Mythos Pack in The Innsmouth Conspiracy cycle. Since awakening in a dank and dismal pit on the Atlantic coast, your memories of your time in Innsmouth have been scattered and difficult to piece together. Why did you come to the town of Innsmouth? What exactly transpired between your arrival and your nightmarish experience in the tidal tunnels? What is the connection between the Esoteric Order of Dagon and the swarming deep ones? These questions and more will have to wait—Innsmouth may already be slipping beneath the waves! Within this expansion, you’ll find the next chapter of The Innsmouth Conspiracy, drawing you deeper into the tangled web surrounding your visit to Innsmouth. It’s not just a new scenario, however—you’ll find new player cards to support every class, including powerful new Covenants that center on the bless and curse tokens introduced in The Innsmouth Conspiracy deluxe expansion! Rising Tides Once you’ve escaped the deep ones in the coastal tunnels, your path leads you back to Innsmouth, where you’re intent on learning more… but Innsmouth has been invaded. Foul things from the depths of the sea prowl the streets, patrolling the alleys and intersections. Makeshift barricades block the streets through town as seawater floods the Innsmouth Harbor and spreads deeper into the city. You must escape, but your car is parked at the train station on the other side of town. The only way out is to push forward through Innsmouth. At the start of the scenario, you’ll set up the city of Innsmouth with fifteen location cards, using resource tokens between these location cards to indicate the barriers erected on the streets. To reach the train station and escape, you and your fellow investigators must pick your way through this labyrinth. An already dangerous journey is further complicated by the barriers that block your path. You can’t move between two locations if there are barriers in the way, but fortunately, many location cards give you a way to clear barriers. If you’re in the Shoreward Slums (In Too Deep, 131), you can take damage to remove a barrier, while the Innsmouth Jail (In Too Deep, 133) lets you spend your resources to clear your path. Along your journey, you’ll also be tracking down the key tokens that represent vital information about what has happened to Innsmouth and your own investigation. If you can take these keys to the right locations, you may be able to aid your memory and unlock the true events plaguing Innsmouth. No matter where your path leads you, however, you must be cautious. Ocean water splashes against the shops and houses of Innsmouth, and new enemies like Ravager from the Deep (In Too Deep, 145) or the Emerging Deep One (In Too Deep, 146) become dramatically more powerful if they’re in flooded locations. You and your friends must escape quickly if you want to avoid a watery end. Join Covenant? You’ll find new player cards for every character class within this Mythos Pack, and among them, a powerful new type of permanent asset for every class: Covenants! Even if you have a character that can draw from multiple classes, you’re limited to one Covenant per deck. Furthermore, every Covenant has a close relationship with the new bless and curse tokens introduced in The Innsmouth Conspiracy... but that’s where the similarities end. As we discussed in our announcement of The Innsmouth Conspiracy, many cards in this cycle draw upon the brand-new bless and curse tokens. Bless tokens function as a +2 modifier, but you’ll need to draw a second chaos token to learn the final outcome of your test. Similarly, curse tokens act as a –2 result, but again, you’ll have to draw another chaos token to complete your test. Once bless or curse token are drawn, they’re removed from the chaos bag, so it’s only natural that there would be plenty of ways to add bless and curse tokens to the chaos bag. Now, with the addition of Covenants, you have an entirely new way to interact with these tokens. Take the Ancient Covenant (In Too Deep, 122), for example. Whenever an investigator at your location draws a bless token from the chaos bag, you can exhaust Ancient Covenant so you don’t have to reveal another token. Instead, you simply reap the benefits of the bless token without risking failure by drawing another token! Or perhaps you’d prefer to ride the line of sanity by entering into a Blasphemous Covenant (In Too Deep, 113). This Covenant can be triggered whenever an investigator at your location draws a curse token. Rather than suffering a –2 modifier, the Blasphemous Covenant lets you treat the curse token as having a +1 modifier—but rather removing the curse token from the chaos bag, you’ll need to put that token back in the bag after the test! Of course, you don’t need to embrace the bless and curse tokens. You may even decide that you’re a Skeptic (In Too Deep, 115) who puts no stock in supernatural portents or powers! Flooding in Innsmouth A perilous journey awaits you and your fellow investigators. You must traverse a flooded, infested Innsmouth if you’re going to escape—but will you push to escape as quickly as possible, or will you strive to find the missing pieces of your own memories that may await in Innsmouth?

The third Mythos Pack in The Innsmouth Conspiracy cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game! nnsmouth is overrun! You and Agent Harper just barely escaped from the coastal fishing hamlet, and now, you’re driving quickly toward Falcon Point Lighthouse—where you hope you can draw more connections between the shattered pieces of your memory. You’ve only been on the road for mere moments, however, before you catch sight of headlights in your rearview mirror. You’re not alone on these desolate, winding roads—and it’s a high-speed chase to the finish! Strap in for a breakneck race to the finish with the Esoteric Order of Dagon in hot pursuit! Vehicles surge to the forefront in this expansion as you drive your cars along the winding cliffside roads outside of Innsmouth. Alongside this unique scenario, you’ll find a full assortment of player cards for every aspect, unlocking new skills, allies, and more. Pedal to the Metal Horror in High Gear starts as the investigators pile into their vehicles, such as Elina Harper's Car (Horror in High Gear, 212a). From that point on, you’re racing along the Old Innsmouth Road toward your goal at Falcon Point Lighthouse—but you can’t just rush forward and push through every location. A Fork in the Road (Horror in High Gear, 206) could trap you into going the long way around if you don’t take the time to stop your car and investigate to find clues about your path forward. You could even go careening off a Cliffside Road (Horror in High Gear, 205) if your driver isn’t able to control the vehicle—and the consequences of running a car into the Atlantic would be dire, to say the least. The Old Innsmouth Road may be dangerous enough on its own, but to make matters worse, the Esoteric Order of Dagon is on your tail. A Hit Van (Horror in High Gear, 214) is slow but powerful, while a Hybrid Assassin (Horror in High Gear, 215) rockets up the road to face you head-on. Even if you can shake your pursuers, you may be in for a Bumpy Ride (Horror in High Gear, 216)! Fortunately, you won’t need to face this newest misadventure without the help that arrives in the form of new player cards in this expansion. A Guardian in your party may choose to call upon the power of Enchanted Armor (Horror in High Gear, 189), a new asset that can potentially negate any amount of damage or horror—so long as your willpower is up to the challenge! And since you can grant Enchanted Armor to any investigator at your location, it can be the perfect way for a Guardian to help out a Mystic before they charge into battle with the forces of the Mythos. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the forces arrayed against you, Survivors can use Signum Crucis (Horror in High Gear, 197) to fill the chaos bag with bless tokens. In fact, the more challenging the test that you face, the more bless tokens will be added to the chaos bag by this skill card, making it a natural fit for investigators like Calvin Wright (The Forgotten Age, 5). Alternatively, Rogues may cast Ríastrad (Horror in High Gear, 193), packing the chaos bag with curse tokens in exchange for a devastating attack. Either bless tokens or curse tokens will help if you’re looking to call in Tristan Botley (Horror in High Gear, 194). Tristan lets you increase two of your skills at the beginning of each turn, so you can adapt to the evolving situation and ensure you always have what you need. Of course, he doesn’t come cheap—unless you find yourself in truly exceptional circumstances. After any skill test in which a total of three or more bless or curse tokens were revealed, you can play Tristan Botley from your hand at no cost! Start Your Engines It’s a race to the lighthouse with cars full of cultists speeding up behind you! You’ve never experienced an Arkham Horror: The Card Game scenario quite like this one
