What is Arkham Horror the Card Game?

Something evil stirs in Arkham, and only you can stop it. Blurring the traditional lines between roleplaying and card game experiences, Arkham Horror: The Card Game is the Living Card Game® of Lovecraftian mystery, monsters, and madness!

You and your friend (or up to three friends with two Core Sets) become characters within the quiet New England town of Arkham. You have your talents, sure, but you also have your flaws. Perhaps you've dabbled a little too much in the writings of the Necronomicon, and its words continue to haunt you. Perhaps you feel compelled to cover up any signs of otherworldly evils, hampering your own investigations in order to protect the quiet confidence of the greater population. Perhaps you'll be scarred by your encounters with a ghoulish cult. No matter what compels you, no matter what haunts you, you'll find both your strengths and weaknesses reflected in your custom deck of cards, and these cards will be your resources as you work with your friends to unravel the world's most terrifying mysteries.

Meanwhile, each of your adventures in Arkham Horror LCG carries you deeper into mystery. You'll find cultists and foul rituals. You'll find haunted houses and strange creatures. And you may find signs of the Ancient Ones straining against the barriers to our world… The basic mode of play inArkham LCG is not the adventure, but the campaign. You might be scarred by your adventures, your sanity may be strained, and you may alter Arkham's landscape, burning buildings to the ground. All your choices and actions have consequences that reach far beyond the immediate resolution of the scenario at hand. And your actions may earn you valuable experience with which you can better prepare yourself for the adventures that still lie before you.

Really impressed with how fast my order was processed from time of purchase to receiving the item. It was less than 24 hours. Updated all the way through about my item. Highly recommend dealing with this company

Arkham Horror Card Game is a great story driven card adventure, This core box come with 3 scenarios and 5 different investigators to try out. You draw and play cards from your hand while moving your investigator around different locations, trying to achieve a variety of objectives, meanwhile having to react to random different monsters/events that are drawn every round. Each scenario has multiple ways to fail and or succeed and the game carries on no matter how you do, potentially punishing you on the next scenario. The core mechanic revolves around passing skill tests (fighting, evading, investigating) which involves playing cards to boost your stats then drawing from a bag of mostly negative modifier tokens. The artwork in this game is absolutely fantastic and really captures the abilities presented on the cards. The game is story heavy and if is based around a 1920's Horror universe by H.P. Lovecraft. We really enjoy reading the unfolding story and seeing how the game reacts to our actions. The game is rather complicated and has many small nuanced rules and words which will need to be looked up beyond the manual to make any sense to the players, also, being a Living Card Game, the game is slowly released in small rather expensive expansions and packs, (1 Deluxe and 6 Small Mythos expansions create one 8 scenario campaign beyond the core box) the core box is enough for two players to see if you are keen to get hooked in the world of Arkham Horror.

Arrived very quickly and in great condition. I already have two separate groups of people fully engaged in the game and ready for more sessions!

Excellent re-imagining of the Cthulhu Mythos board game as a Living Card Game (LCG). Immersive storyline and engaging gameplay. Downsides - (1) because its an LCG, there will be continual expansions which can become expensive over time(2) whilst the game is capable of playing up to four, you need two copies of the base game to enable this. Overall thumbs up!

Great service rapid delivery and shipping. Would recommend Game Kings. Thanks for stocking my favourite game and at a great price. In the future it would be great if you stock more of the expansion campaigns, as "Arkham Horror the card game" has a vast range of campaigns and one-off scenarios.

This game is strong on theme and has an exciting story. It's really fun to play, and whilst we've only played through the first scenario so far I can't wait to play through the rest. There are numerous expansion packs to be purchased, which I'm already eyeing up!
