## How to Play
Game Objective
The Edge of the Earth: Investigator Expansion brings new investigators and player cards that can be used in any scenario or campaign of Arkham Horror: The Card Game. The main objective remains the same: players must cooperate to survive the horrors that arise in the mountains of madness, completing the scenario's tasks and avoiding defeat. The specific victory condition depends on the scenario in which the expansion is being used; consult the scenario manual for details.

Preparation (Setup)
The manual does not provide specific setup details for this expansion. Refer to the manual for details on this section.

Game Flow
The turn and phase flow follows the standard structure of Arkham Horror: The Card Game. The expansion does not introduce new phases or changes to the turn flow. Refer to the manual for details on this section.

Actions and How to Play
The expansion's player cards can have multiple classes (Guardian, Seeker, Rogue, Mystic, Survivor). A multiclasse card counts as a card of each class it has and is not neutral. To include a multiclasse card in a deck, the investigator must have access to at least one of the card's classes. If the investigator has limited access to one class and unlimited access to another, the card does not occupy one of the deck's limited slots. Refer to the manual for details on this section.

End of Game and Scoring
The manual does not describe end-game triggers, victory or defeat criteria specific to this expansion. Refer to the manual for details on this section.

Tips for Winning
1. Multiclasse cards allow greater flexibility in deck building; choose investigators who have access to multiple classes to make the most of these cards.
2. Researched cards can only be included after the lowest-level task has been completed and recorded in the Campaign Log. Plan your card upgrades in advance.
3. Limit of 1 per deck on cards such as Unidentified and Portal to Tindalos means you must carefully choose when to include them in your deck.
