## Description
If you're already deep into the mysteries of Arkham, brace yourself, because things are about to get a lot weirder. 'Blood on the Altar' is the third Mythos Pack of 'The Dunwich Legacy' cycle, leading your investigators to the isolated and sinister village of Dunwich. The premise is a classic: mysterious disappearances that smell like trouble and a strong suspicion that everything is connected to the chaos you've already faced in Arkham. But don't expect a warm welcome; the locals are not at all pleased to have strangers poking around their business.

In this expansion, you'll explore iconic locations directly inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's tale 'The Dunwich Horror'. The game pushes you to scour the town for clues while trying not to lose your sanity in the process. With 60 new cards, including full playsets for player cards, the pack expands both the tactical options and the campaign's narrative depth. The tension ramps up as you realize the village hides something far worse than simple rural superstitions.

The core challenge here is resource management and tight cooperation. You and your partners will need to coordinate every move, as Dunwich is a place where curiosity can be fatal. Will you manage to uncover what's happening before the ritual is completed or the village swallows you whole? If you love that feeling of 'I'm entering a place I really shouldn't be', this pack is essential for your LCG experience.

## FAQ
