This new expansion for FFG's Arkham Horror board game unleashes diabolical evil and unnatural crises upon Arkham in the form of the Curse of the Dark Pharaoh. A museum exhibit from mysterious Egypt has come to Arkham. - Benignly titled Legacy of the Pharaohs, the exhibit soon causes an influx of foreign cultists, supernatural events, powerful relics, and other dangers and mysteries, culminating in the all-too-familiar threat of an Ancient One awakening. Once again, the investigators are the only ones who can, through luck, pluck, lore, and courage, stop it. - Arkham Horror is a re-envisioning of the classic H.P. Lovecraft board game by Richard Launius. This expansion focuses on the thematic game play, amazing art, and strange tales that make the base game such a fan favorite. The expansion also introduces a few new card types, including 22 Exhibit Items (ancient relics from the visiting museum exhibit), 18 Barred from Neighborhood cards, 4 Benefit cards, and 4 Detriment cards. The expansion also includes 45 new Arkham Location cards, 27 new Gate cards, 18 new Mythos cards, 21 new Spells, and 7 Allies, for a total of 166 new cards! - Arkham Horror is a cooperative game for 1-8 players, ages 12 and up, that can be played in 2-3 hours.
