About this expansion

Arkham Horror: The Card Game – By the Book: Challenge Scenario is a 2021 special print-and-play challenge scenario for 1–4 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes. It is designed to be played with Roland Banks.

Another body has been discovered in the Black Cave, and you are determined to uncover the truth. Your investigation points toward Mr. Grey, a congressman who may be the mastermind behind the murders.

This is an unprecedented case, placing you against a powerful politician and his ring of conspirators. Can you bring the investigation to its conclusion and take down someone with such influence?

By the Book can be played in either of two ways:

  • As a standalone scenario
  • As a side-story inserted into any campaign

To play, you need a copy of the Arkham Horror: The Card Game Core Set along with the printed print-and-play files. The files can be downloaded from the Support section of Fantasy Flight Games’ Arkham Horror: The Card Game product page, in the Print-and-Play Cards section.

Whether approached as a self-contained investigation or added to an existing campaign, Arkham Horror: The Card Game – By the Book: Challenge Scenario offers a focused case centered on murder, political power, and the search for the truth. Its print-and-play format makes this unusual scenario available for players ready to pursue the evidence and confront the conspirators.
