To be clear, this isn't a campaign expansion (don't expect new scenarios or encounter cards here), but rather a package focused entirely on your survival arsenal. It gathers all the player cards that make up the original Dunwich Legacy cycle, allowing you to customize your investigators with new skills, assets, and event cards that were previously scattered. The story brings us back to the mysteries of Dunwich, where following a monstrous presence, new disappearances begin to haunt Dr. Armitage's colleagues. While the main plot has been explored, this pack is essential for anyone seeking tactical depth. With all these player cards in one place, you'll have much more deckbuilding flexibility to deal with the madness and monsters lurking in the shadows of Arkham. It's the perfect complement for those who already own the campaign expansion and want to expand their gameplay possibilities, whether playing solo or in a group. Just a friendly heads-up: if you're a veteran who already owns every single card from the original cycle, you won't find new content here—this is a strategic repackaging designed to make your life easier and complete your investigator collection! ## How to Play Game Objective Refer to the manual for details on this section. Preparation (Setup) The investigator expansion The Legacy of Dunwich provides a set of investigators and player cards. These cards should be used to build or improve investigator decks for any scenario or campaign of Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Refer to the manual for details on board setup, initial pieces, tokens, and component distribution for each player. Game Flow Refer to the manual for details on this section. Actions and How to Play The provided context details specific card mechanics and keyword abilities: Exile Some player cards must be exiled when used. The process works as follows: The card is removed from play and returned to the collection. In a campaign game, the exiled card must be repurchased with experience points between scenarios so it can return to the deck. If exiling reduces the investigator deck below its legal size, the player must purchase cards (which may be level 0 cards for 0 experience) between scenarios until the legal size is maintained. Researched Researched is a keyword ability found on some high-level cards (commonly on Seeker cards). To include a card with this keyword in the deck, the following rules must be followed: The card must be "identified" or "translated" by completing a task on a lower-level version of the same card. The result of that task must be recorded in the Campaign Log. The investigator can only include the researched card in the deck after upgrading it from its lower-level version and having the task completion noted in the Campaign Log. Once an investigator completes and records the task, any investigator in the campaign can upgrade the card following the normal rules for upgrading player cards. End of Game and Scoring Refer to the manual for details on this section. Tips for Winning Deck Management: Keep an eye on the size of your investigator deck; if cards are exiled and the size falls below the legal limit, use the inter-scenario phase to rebuild the deck with level 0 cards if necessary. Card Progression: To gain access to powerful cards with the keyword Researched, prioritize completing tasks on lower-level versions of the cards and ensure you record the completion in the Campaign Log. ## FAQ ### Does this expansion add new scenarios or stories?
