About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an extra dose of chills and mystery with 'Curse of the Rougarou,' a scenario that throws you straight into the dark and humid streets of New Orleans and the Louisiana bayous. The story kicks off when a friend from the local newspaper sends you some tips about some very strange killings – the kind only you, with your peculiar curiosity, would pay attention to. And boy, were they right! As you embark on this investigation, you have no idea what awaits you. This pack is designed to be a standalone adventure, perfect for those who want a quick taste of cosmic horror without committing to a long campaign. But if you're already a fan of the card game and want to extend your saga in Arkham Horror: The Card Game, you can easily slot this 'side-story' into your current campaign. With 62 cards that include everything you need – rules, locations, acts, agendas, and encounters – 'Curse of the Rougarou' immerses you in a mystery filled with malevolent spirits, murderous beasts, and dangers ranging from the natural to the decidedly unnatural. It's a thrilling hunt that will test your sanity and investigative skills, all with the quality we've come to expect from the Arkham Horror Files series.
