About the game

What you do in a play session

For those who have already ventured through the dark streets of Arkham and want to add a special touch to their game sessions, the Arkham Horror: Arkham Nights 2018 Promotional Character Card Set is right up your alley! Released exclusively for attendees of the Arkham Nights event in October 2018, this small package introduces a brand-new investigator to the third edition of the game: the charismatic and somewhat peculiar "Ashcan" Pete. He comes with his own investigator sheet, a token to represent you on the board, a talent card called "Dark Dreams," his loyal companion Duke (who is a powerful ally!), and even his guitar, an item that can give you that extra boost in tough moments.

This promo is a treat for collectors and ardent fans of the Arkham Horror universe. Although a slightly different version of "Ashcan" Pete appears in the "Under Dark Waves" expansion (replacing the "Dark Dreams" talent with "Wanderer"), this promotional set is a unique piece for those who want to have everything related to the game. The language dependency is moderate, so be prepared to have a translated spreadsheet or cards in your language handy to make the most of this unique investigator's abilities and story. It's an addition that doesn't radically change the game but adds that extra flavor of exclusivity and a new character to explore the Lovecraftian threats.

Whether you're a veteran of Arkham's horrors or a curious newcomer, this set offers a new perspective and a character with unique powers to face the terrors lurking in the city. It's a cool way to upgrade your games, especially if you enjoy collecting promotional items and having access to exclusive investigators that add a special spice to your cooperative experience.
