This neat little pack brings four fresh cards for you to add Carolyn Fern, the psychologist who knows all about trauma and cosmic mysteries, to your roster of investigators. Released in 2018, this set of promotional cards was originally distributed alongside the novella 'To Fight the Black Wind,' and it's a treat for anyone who loves to dive even deeper into the lore of the Arkham universe.
If you're already a fan of the Arkham Horror LCG, you know that each new investigator opens up a range of different possibilities and strategies.

These cards aren't just any 'extra'; they seamlessly integrate the character into the game, expanding deck-building options and adding more depth to your team of investigators.

Get ready to face the cosmic horrors of Arkham with an extra touch of strategy and personality!
