About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for a breathtaking rescue mission in "Dark Side of the Moon," the third Mythos Pack in "The Dream-Eaters" cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game! If you enjoy diving deep into narratives of suspense and cosmic horror, this expansion is for you. The story kicks off with the disappearance of a man who might hold the key to escaping the Dreamlands, abducted by dangerous corsairs. Your mission? Follow them to a desolate world and bring the hostage back, all without being detected.

"Dark Side of the Moon" throws you into a race against time and silence. You'll need to be smarter and stealthier than ever to rescue your target and escape unharmed. The beauty of this pack is that it can be played as a standalone adventure or integrated into "The Dream-Eaters" cycle, expanding the main campaign to up to eight parts.

Following the events of "The Search for Kadath," the investigators find themselves even further removed from the waking world, pursuing Virgil Gray to the cold, distant moon. The pressure mounts, and the need for discretion is crucial for success. This expansion introduces new challenges, cards, and twists that will test your sanity and investigative skills. It's the perfect addition for existing fans of the series looking for more of that unmistakable Lovecraftian atmosphere, with an extra dose of danger and mystery.
