Summary
It is the roaring 20s, and while there’s electricity in the air, unnatural storms are brewing as well. Strange things are happening in the small Massachusetts town of Arkham: people have gone missing, sightings of indescribable creatures grow more and more frequent, the very air thickens with a sense of foreboding that roils like an acrid mist through the streets. The Ancient Ones are stirring…
Arkham Horror was originally published by Chaosium, Inc., in 1987. This new, updated edition features stunning new artwork and graphical design (including a new gameboard, counters, cards, and playing pieces) as well as revised and expanded rules from the game's original creator, Richard Launius. Players can select from 16 unique playable investigator characters, each with unique abilities, and will square off against the diabolical servants of 8 Ancient Ones, including Ithaqua, Hastur, and the terrible Cthulhu! No fan of the Cthulhu Mythos will want to miss the opportunity to acquire this classic Call of Cthulhu board game! Arkham Horror is a cooperative game for 1-8 players ages 12 and up, and can be played in 2-3 hours.
Comments / Trivia
This is the second edition of Arkham Horror. The box refers to it as a Call of Cthulhu boardgame.
In addition to the core game and the expansions, publisher Fantasy Flight Games also produces a "Toolkit" app for Arkham Horror bookkeeping (available for iOS devices), painted figures for monsters and investigators that can replace their equivalent game markers, and Arkham Horror novels, fiction set in the world of Arkham Horror.
