Arkham Horror: The Card Game (Revised Core Set)
Game Description
Prepare to cross the threshold into a world where the boundaries between realities dangerously thin. In Arkham Horror: The Card Game (Revised Core Set), dark forces operate in the shadows, conjuring unspeakable horrors that manifest in strange occurrences throughout Arkham, Massachusetts. Behind every mystery, an Ancient One manipulates events from beyond the veil. It's time to confront what started it all, immersing yourself in an atmosphere of cosmic horror and unspeakable mysteries.
In this cooperative game for 1 to 4 players, you and your companions will become brave investigators in the quiet New England town. Your mission is to investigate the strange happenings and solve the enigmas that threaten sanity. Each character brings unique talents and, most importantly, personal flaws that enrich the narrative: perhaps you are haunted by the words of the Necronomicon, or your obsession with secrecy hinders you. Every encounter, every choice, will shape your personal stories, leaving indelible scars.
The 2021 Revised Core Set, published by Fantasy Flight Games, introduces significant new improvements for an even smoother and more immersive gameplay experience, with an estimated duration of 180 minutes per game. This revised edition was designed to offer everything you need to start your campaigns against the Mythos, including components sufficient for up to four players right from the start:
- Support for up to four players with a single core set (the original only supported two).
- Two copies of all 96 player cards from the original core set, with several new illustrations, plus two copies of 13 additional player cards previously only available in expansions.
- A convenient fabric Chaos Bag for chaos tokens (not included in the original edition).
- Improved internal box organization for easier card management.
This set represents the ideal starting point for anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the terrifying universe of Arkham Horror, ready to face the darkest challenges.

Rules - Arkham Horror: The Card Game (Revised Core Set)
Arkham Horror: The Card Game (Revised Core Set) is a cooperative game for 1-4 players, where you take on the roles of investigators in the dark city of Arkham. Your goal is to investigate strange occurrences, solve mysteries, and confront Lovecraftian horrors that threaten reality. The game unfolds through a narrative campaign, where each scenario presents unique challenges and your choices can have lasting consequences.
Gameplay is structured in turns, each composed of distinct phases:
- Mythos Phase: New threats emerge, time runs out for the investigators, and existing horrors act.
- Investigator Phase: Players take actions using their cards and abilities, such as moving between locations, investigating to find clues, fighting enemies, or playing new cards.
- Enemy Phase: Active enemies move and attack investigators.
- Upkeep Phase: Investigators prepare for the next turn.
To resolve most skill tests and key actions, a token is drawn from a Chaos Bag. This element of unpredictability determines the success or failure of your actions, adding tension to every decision. Success in the campaign depends on the ability to progress through the narrative, gather enough clues before the Ancients' plan unfolds, and survive encounters with the Mythos, whose scars can persist between scenarios.
