About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for a gala night that might just be your last in 'The Midwinter Gala', an additional scenario for Arkham Horror: The Card Game! Arkham's high society gathers in Kingsport for an exclusive event hosted by the mysterious Lantern Club, but what starts as a sophisticated party soon descends into a nightmare as bizarre creatures crash the festivities. Your mission? Unravel the club's dark schemes and protect the city's leaders before it's too late.

In this scenario, one to four investigators join forces, with the option to choose a faction to ally with, working together to secure a powerful relic at the heart of the Lantern Club's nefarious plot. 'The Midwinter Gala' offers flexibility: play it as a standalone adventure or insert it into any existing campaign as a side-story, adding an extra layer of danger and mystery. For those who enjoy a challenge with a social twist, the scenario also supports a semi-competitive mode, where teams of investigators can compete against each other. It's the perfect opportunity to dive deeper into the dark and terrifying universe of Arkham, with an added dose of intrigue and peril, all while managing your hand of cards and utilizing your investigator's unique powers to survive the night.

With an estimated playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, this scenario pack is ideal for fans seeking new stories and challenges within the already acclaimed Arkham Horror: The Card Game. The complexity is moderate, as expected from the series, but the cooperative experience and resource management are crucial for success.
