The theme! THE THEME! Fantastic card game that oozes atmosphere, with a simple to understand rules and a well designed co-op gameplay. Highly recommended!

The Arkham Horror LCG is a great way to dive into the mythos inspired by Lovecraft. Players investigate strange occurences, uncover dark secrets, and try to prevent advancing doom. Lots of characters means lots of ways to play the same scenarios, and because it's a cooperative game there's a real feeling of achievement if you manage to succeed.
However, there are two issues with the game. The first is that, since the characters depend on the cards in their deck, you realistically need TWO copies of the core game to be able to put together halfway-decent decks. This is especially true if you're playing with more than two players.
The second issue is that, because of the way expansions are released, you can almost guarantee that you won't be able to play an expansion all the way through because one of the mythos packs for it will be out of stock.
The Arkham Horror LCG is a good game. It's well executed, and combines elements of deck-building, roleplaying, and tactics very well. But it's not something you can play casually, and the issues mentioned above make it difficult to really get into.

Great artwork and atmospheric storyline really help to fire the imagination and bring everything to "life".

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!
