About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare to face madness head-on in "Where the Gods Dwell," the fifth Mythos Pack in "The Dream-Eaters" cycle for the acclaimed Arkham Horror: The Card Game! After a seemingly endless journey through the Dreamlands, you finally set foot in Leng, a desolate, icy land where the peak of the Unknown Kadath supposedly hides. But make no mistake, a sinister presence torments you, gnawing at your sanity with a voice you don't hear but feel echoing in the depths of your mind. It's waiting for you.

This scenario, IV-A of "The Dream-Quest" campaign, can be played solo or integrated with other expansions from the "The Dream-Eaters" cycle, forming an epic 4 or even 8-part campaign. Following the events of "Dark Side of the Moon," you reach the Lost Kadath, where Nyarlathotep awaits a confrontation that will test your limits against deceit, lies, and reality itself warping. How do you face an enemy you can barely comprehend? If you can lure him into the light, there might be a chance, but the question remains: how do you fight the incomprehensible?

"Where the Gods Dwell" plunges players into an intense challenge, demanding not only strategy but also strong hand management and the ability to adapt to unexpected twists. The language dependency is high, with a significant portion of the text needing to be read and understood for full immersion. It's a perfect fit for those who enjoy cooperative games with a touch of role-playing and a heavy dose of cosmic horror.
