About the game
Get ready to dive back into the mysteries of Arkham! The Dunwich Legacy Campaign, originally released in cycles, is now conveniently repackaged into a single box for investigators. Forget hunting for individual packs; here you'll find all the Encounter and Campaign cards needed to unravel the complete story. The plot throws you back into Dunwich, where, months ago, three Miskatonic University professors confronted a terrifying creature, bringing temporary peace, but at a high cost to their sanity. Now, one of them, Dr. Armitage, urgently needs your help: his colleagues have disappeared, and he fears the worst. Your journey begins at Miskatonic University, passes through the infamous Clover Club, and extends to even darker locales, facing everything from backroom thugs and bad luck to arcane hexes and indescribable abominations. This expansion not only continues the epic narrative but has also been redesigned for a more fluid experience, allowing you to fully focus on unraveling the secrets and surviving the horrors that lurk. It's the perfect opportunity to revisit or experience for the first time one of the most iconic campaigns of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, with all the narrative content and challenges gathered in a practical format.
