Arkham Horror: The Card Game – Core Set

Arkham Horror: The Card Game (AHC100EN) is a cooperative living card game for one to two players, published for ages 14 and up, with sessions typically running 60 to 120 minutes. Set in the Lovecraftian world of Arkham Horror, players take on the roles of investigators trying to unravel mysteries and survive encounters with eldritch horrors before doom overwhelms the city. The core set introduces the full campaign structure, deckbuilding system, and three standalone scenarios that can also be linked into a connected story.
