Miskatonic Horror Hitting Store Shelves

Someone better start making a bed for Elliott in his garage because Fantasy Flight Games is shipping the latest expansion to Arkham Horror, Miskatonic Horror.

In a first for FFG, this release builds upon a Shoggoth sized list of previous Arkham Horror expansions!

From our friends at FFG:

A recent find at Miskatonic University has unearthed even more mysteries pertaining to the strange happenings in Arkham, Massachusetts. While the worshippers of the Ancient One grow in strength, the stalwart defenders of this sleepy town are put to the ultimate test.

Miskatonic Horror is a new type of Arkham Horror expansion that builds upon the materials found in the ample library of other Arkham Horror expansions. While the components and rules found in Miskatonic Horror can be enjoyed with only the Arkham Horror base game, the more expansions you incorporate, the more aspects of Miskatonic Horror you can enjoy.

Miskatonic Horror adds nearly 450 new cards and several new sheets, including:

  • New Skill, Gate, and Mythos cards for the Arkham Horror base game
  • Additional Exhibit Item cards for Curse of the Dark Pharaoh
  • New Injury, Madness, Dunwich Location, and Dunwich Horror cards for Dunwich Horror, as well as an all new Dunwich Horror Herald sheet
  • More Blight and Act cards for The King in Yellow
  • New Kingsport Location, Epic Battle, Blessings of Noden, and Visions of Hypnos cards for Kingsport Horror
  • Over 20 new Cult Encounter cards for The Black Goat of the Woods
  • New Innsmouth Location and Innsmouth Look cards for Innsmouth Horror
  • Additional Relationship cards and Reckoning cards for Lurker at the Threshold
  • Plus new Player Reference sheets and a new Institution variant!

Holy Snikies! That is a lot of gaming goodness for those of you out there who own all of those expansions! Then again for those of us who only own the base game – yes… what kind of Lovecraft gamer am I?!?!?! – we might want to take a pass.
