About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for a deep dive into Arkham's asylum with 'The Unspeakable Oath', the second Mythos Pack in 'The Path to Carcosa' campaign. This expansion throws you straight into the bowels of a dark asylum, where locked doors, the constant feeling of Doubt, and the presence of Lunatics are just the beginning. As you unravel the macabre secrets hidden behind the walls, the scenario continues to expand the unique experience of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, blending RPG elements with strategic card gameplay. This expansion brings 24 new cards to your deck (two copies of 12 different types), including the opportunity to encounter influential Patrons and, most importantly, learn from the mistakes made in previous investigations. The game requires an advanced knowledge of English, as the amount of text on the cards is considerable. It's a crucial piece for anyone wanting to follow the 'The Path to Carcosa' campaign and delve even deeper into Lovecraftian mysteries, increasing complexity and tension with each playthrough. If you enjoy a good story, cooperative challenges, and a touch of psychological horror, this expansion is for you. Remember that this is a card pack and not a standalone game, requiring the base game to be played.
