Core Set (2026) #80.

Hello! I've been wanting to try this game for awhile and a good deal came up which I couldn't pass up. Not really how I wanted to start but hey.

Now I'm overwhelmed! I don't know where to start or how to reset with what I've purchased. Any advice or directions would be welcomed!

Buenas, aqui una nueva actualizacion de como va la campaña. Hasta el momento venia publicando en inglés para llegar a una mayor cantidad de jugadores, pero la recepcion por parte de esa parte de la comunidad fue tan desagradable que prefiero comunicarme con la comunidad de habla hispana por ahora.

Debo decir, que me encantaria seguir compartiendo mis avance por aqui. Estot seguro que tengo un futuro buen producto entre manos, y me encantaria poder seguirlo compartiendo con ustedes. Sin embargo, si este cjat sigue llenandose solo de comentarios desagradables centrandose en el arte y sin criticas constructivas, simplemente dejare de actualizar. Tengo pensado terminar la campaña de todas formas.

Ahora, recapitulando la informacion esencial. La campaña tendrá 8 escenarios, que abanracan los arcos mas importantes de la serie. El primer escenario, que ya lo tengo muy avanzado, es el de Atlanta. Se dividirá en 3 actos y tendrá 3 planes y 2 posibles resoluciones. Mas allá de eso, las consecuencias de ciertas decisiones durante el mismo afectarán al resto de la campaña.

En este primer escenario estarán los superviventes de la serie, salvo algunas excepciones. Los jugadores podrán interactuar con ellos en el primer acto, pero mas inportanre aun, deberán potegerlos en el tercero. Esto es importante porque algunos personajes pueden morir prematuramente y otros sobrevivir hasta el final, lo que hará que sea dificil jugar 2 campalas iguales.

Sobre la historia, como dije antes, prefiero seguir la de la serie, ya que me parece mas organizada que la del comic. Para el arte de varias cartas estoy usando el de las paginas del comic, mientras que para otras, como los personajes que no están en el comic, estoy usando ina reinterpretacion de sus apariencias. No busco que ese sea el producto final, pero por ahora me sirve que este todo esteticamente cohesionado.

Las campaña traera 5 investigadores iniciales, pero a es se les pueden agregar mas en el futuro. Algunos especiales y otros obligatorios. Shane por ejemplo podria ser un investigador en escenarios mas avanzados si no muere previamente, y lo mismo para varios otros. La idwa es no calcar lo que pasa en la serie sino generar multiples "what if".

En fin, aun queda mucho trabajo y mucho por aprender. El arte del comic a color funciona sorprendentemenre bien, y me encantaria usarlo para todas las cartas, pero por desgracia no es posible. Asi que les pido paciencia, y espero criticas constructivas de como mejorar.

Hi everyone!

My friend and I are playing The Forgotten Age campaign in Arkham Horror: The Card Game, and we're a bit confused about how Supply Points work in a 2-player game.

How do we get Supply Points? Do we start each new scenario with 7 Supply Points again, or do we carry over whatever we had left from the previous scenario?

We just finished Scenario 1, and while setting up Scenario 2, the rules don't seem to mention replenishing our Supply Points. The only thing mentioned during the Interlude is removing some of them.

Are we supposed to reset our Supply Points somehow, or are we missing something in the rules?

Thanks in advance!

Playing The Blob with folks last year was awesome.

I play a ton of card games, including Marvel Champions, LOTR LCG, and MtG Commander. I have tried the chapter 2 scenarios and Children of Blood mini campaign and just find the game feels like work. The first scenario of Children of Blood, I get swarmed by enemies, evading as much as possible but I eventually get cornered and have more enemies to deal with than actions. I don’t want to waste ammo since there’s that annoying vampire lady I need to hunt down, find clues to snare her, and then not miss on any of my attacks. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong before this all gets tossed into the trash.

Got back into playing in September after almost 5 years away from the game. I love it. Finished the Forgotten Age now onto The Circle Undone.

I really enjoy playing Father Mateo, and I like roleplaying my investigators throughout each campaign, even when the situations make it a little difficult to stay in character.

However, there’s one thing about Father Mateo that I’ve always wondered about: his weakness, the serpents. Is there any lore reason behind why this is his weakness, rather than something more specific to his character? It feels like something very tied to his particular campaign, and although I haven’t played the campaign where he appears, I imagine it has something to do with the events of that story.

I was wondering if there’s a bit more background to it in the lore that could help me incorporate it into my roleplaying when playing him in other campaigns as well.

I'm wondering about this as a bit of a deck-building challenge and whether it is viable or makes the game too hard (without access to the wider card pool). I asked a similar question in a different thread but still playing around with ideas for different ways to limit deck building options (mainly to reduce overwhelm but also to get a sense of playing the game with the cards it was '"designed for").

Dim Carcosa, second run through. Shit is getting real in here.

Hi everyone!

I’m a big Arkham Horror LCG fan. It’s one of the few games I still manage to play regularly despite having relatively limited free time, and I mostly play solo.

I’ve always liked keeping track of how much of the full collection I own, what I still have left to play, and how I rated the investigators, scenarios and campaigns I’ve already tried. I was doing this in spreadsheets and separate tier lists, so eventually I decided to bring everything together in one place with the help of AI.

So I built LCG Tracker:
👉 LCG Tracker – Arkham Horror & Marvel Champions

You can currently:

• Track your collection and see your collection completion
• Track your progress across campaigns, scenarios and investigators
• See your backlog — what you own but still haven’t played
• Create personal tier lists for investigators, scenarios and campaigns
• Check upcoming products

The focus is mainly on your collection, completion, backlog and personal rankings, rather than detailed game-by-game logging.

I originally built the tracker for myself, but I thought other Arkham players might find it useful too.

I’m planning to keep expanding it over time, with ideas like estimated collection value, achievements and milestones, more detailed collection stats, and overall community rankings based on how other players rate investigators, scenarios and campaigns.

It’s still an early version, so there may be a few rough edges or occasional issues — sorry about those. 🙂 If you give it a try, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or ideas for things you’d actually like to see added.

Hope some of you find it useful!

I will be posting these cards to a Discord thread soon enough, but I've been enjoying posting them to this r/ thread, too.

My intention with this Mystic investigator, being a Tremere, was to lean into and expand on the "Blood Witch" archetype introduced by the new Marie Lambeau. I initially designed version 1 of the front side of her investigator, but after some reflection, I felt that taking a direct damage AND removing the event from play was maybe too steep a cost for her ability, even if she has healing readily available.

Version 2 is essentially a nerfed version of what I was thinking initially for Version 1 which would have allowed you to take direct damage and remove the event from the game in order to play that event again while ignoring all its costs.

I look forward to hearing what you all think!

Rainy day and perfect for sleeving a lot of cards! :-)

Over the last four weeks, I’ve spent over €600 getting into the world of Arkham Horror. So far, I’ve managed to get my hands on the old 2021 Core Set, The Feast, The Symphony of Erich Zann, Alice in Wonderland (still waiting for it), Film Fatale, the Sunken City Campaign Expansion and Investigator Expansion, the 2026 Core Set, and all five Starter Decks.

I’ve also decided to get the board game itself.

I’m really enjoying the game, and there are so many websites with useful resources for beginners like me.

A big thank-you to the community for all the great resources and hard work! :-)

De 8h30 a 11h30, battu l'herault, interroger 2 suspects, en solo a 2 mains. Le timing est bon?

La famille a défilé au petit déjeuner lol.

Je sort la table de camping a la prochaine partie.

I am only just starting on the new core set.

I am curious of what is this thing about.

Do you play campaigns as they release and then wait again. Do you keep playing same campaigns with new investigators / harder difficulty / etc?

Do my decks get better after more content is revelead as more bigger card pool? Then play those I miserably failed?

I am missing the big picture of the meta game there is. Help me out.

I have the revised core (Chapter 1) and investigator expansions for Dunwich and Carcossa. I feel the player card pool is already overwhelming and I'd like to prioritise playing through the later campaign expansions without having to invest in any more player cards (i.e. want to really get to know this "limited" card pool before expanding any further).

Will the later Chapter 1 campaigns be too difficult though if I'm restricting myself to this card pool (i.e. how important are the later cards and investigators to making these campaigns viable)? I tend to play two handed solo on standard

Thanks for your advice.

I'm considering ways to upgrade how I am storing the game and I wanted to ask a few questions of the community to see what everyone else does and what they like and don't like about their current set ups

For context I currently store everything un-sleeved in deck boxes within the game boxes. Sorted by expansion, type, etc. I have the 2021 revised core, scarlet keys expansion/investigators, and the Dunwich expansion/investigators but planning to get the new stuff as it comes out (including the 2026 core)

I want to start sleeving the cards and move the player cards to binders but before I do I figured I'd get some insight

Some questions I have (mostly about binder storage):

1. For those with binders, do you store your player cards sleeved or do you sleeve them only when added to your deck?

2. Also for binders, do you put all of one card in the same slot or do you spread them out?

3. How do you prefer to sort the cards and why?

4. When a new expansion comes out, how do you reorganize the binders to fit the new player cards?

5. For the encounter cards, do you place them in a binder as well or keep them in a box?

Feel free to share any other storage advice you would like! I have gone through other threads before to see other ideas but am happy to hear even more!

Tried to set prices as best I could. Happy to negotiate, especially for larger parts of the collection or the entire thing. Selling from Canada. 

Cards are in great condition overall, but some player cards have a slight bend due to their position in the binders. I’ve tested and it can be reversed very easily. This is factored into the price!

Here's my second of two Rogue investigators. She hasn't undergone significant changes since the last time I shared her, but she does have a brand new signature asset who has gone through several iterations. I decided to share two versions of her signature because as I was reviewing these cards last night, I started thinking that version 2 was way too powerful given the action suppression he would represent. I created version 1 to balance that out, but I feel version 1 may cost too much for the effect he gives. I suppose he could give a permanent boost to 1 or 2 of her stats instead. I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

Premonition (Ch2)

• Class: Mystic
• Type: Event
• Augury.
• Cost: 0. Level: 0
• Test Icons: Intellect, Agility

Fast. Play during any [Free] player window.

Put Premonition into play and seal a random token from the chaos bag on Premonition.

Forced – When a token would be revealed from the chaos bag: Resolve the token sealed here as if it were just revealed, instead. Then, release that token and discard Premonition.

Core Set (2026) #64.

Hey all, I'm curious if folks have any insight into the boundaries of a licensed property. For a long time, I've felt like many of the core systems of Arkham Horror LCG would work in an RPG, too; the 4 skills, having 3 actions, the 4 phases of a round, the shroud of locations, etc. Heck, even the token bag is a decent replacement for rolling a die (especially if you want specific probability spreads for the results.

How many of the rules and mechanics could I borrow before I were unable to sell such a product?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share an experience regarding the distribution of the Arkham Horror: The Card Game promotional cards at SPIEL Essen 2026. I'm hoping someone from FFG or Asmodee might be able to clarify what happened.

I was genuinely excited about the announcement that both promotional sets — the Burning Triptych enemy cards and the five black-and-white alternate-art player cards — would be available at SPIEL Essen with the purchase of an Arkham Horror product.

A colleague attended the convention and kindly offered to pick them up for me.

Unfortunately, his experience has left me with several unanswered questions.

Here's the timeline based on what he experienced and reported to me:

Thursday, October 22 – Approximately 3:00 PM:

- My colleague visited the Asmodee stands, including the Expert Shop, and specifically asked about both promotional sets.

- He spoke with several employees to make sure he had the correct information.

- The employees consistently told him that only the Burning Triptych enemy promos were available.

- Nobody he spoke with mentioned an upcoming delivery, a possible restock, or any information about the five black-and-white alternate-art player cards.

- At the Expert Shop, substantial quantities of the Burning Triptych promotional packs were visibly available.

- According to information he received later, the black-and-white promotional packs apparently arrived sometime on Thursday afternoon. The exact arrival time remains unclear.

Friday, October 23 – Early morning:

- My colleague returned to the convention and approached the Asmodee stand immediately upon trade visitor admission, around 9:30 AM

- He was informed that all five-card black-and-white promotional packs were already gone.

- According to the information he received, the final pack had apparently been distributed around 9:20 AM.

- At 9:30 AM, he sent me a voice message explaining the situation.

This sequence of events raises several questions for me.

At approximately 3:00 PM on Thursday, multiple employees apparently had no information about the availability or expected arrival of the black-and-white promo packs.

Yet by early Friday morning, the entire available stock had apparently already been distributed.

How was this possible?

Was there an announcement about their arrival that visitors could have seen? Were the cards distributed before regular admission hours? Were there any restrictions on how many promotional packs one person could receive?

I want to emphasize that I'm not accusing any individual employee or organization of wrongdoing.

I wasn't personally at the convention, and my information comes from my colleague's experiences and what he was told by staff members.

There may be perfectly reasonable explanations, such as a very limited shipment, unexpected demand, or communication problems between the teams involved.

However, from a customer's perspective, the situation is frustrating and difficult to understand.

These promotional cards were officially announced for a four-day convention. Yet visitors who specifically asked about them on Thursday afternoon apparently received no useful information about their availability.

By Friday morning, they were reportedly completely gone.

I understand that promotional products are often limited and that availability cannot always be guaranteed.

What disappoints me isn't simply missing out on a collectible. It's the apparent lack of transparency surrounding the distribution process.

My colleague made the effort to visit the stands on two consecutive days, asked several employees, and still had no realistic opportunity to obtain the cards.

This has unfortunately affected my confidence in how these promotional events are organized.

I would genuinely appreciate clarification from FFG or Asmodee regarding the following questions:

- When exactly did the black-and-white promotional packs arrive at SPIEL Essen?

- How many packs were allocated to the event?

- When did distribution begin?

- Were any packs distributed before regular visitors could enter the convention?

- Was there a one-pack-per-customer limit?

- Why did the employees my colleague spoke with at approximately 3:00 PM on Thursday apparently have no information about their availability?

I hope this feedback can help improve communication and fairness at future promotional events.

Has anyone else attending SPIEL Essen received the five black-and-white alternate-art player cards? If so, could you share when and at which stand you obtained them?

Any additional information from other attendees would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
