Arkham Horror: The Card Game – Before the Black Throne: Mythos Pack

About this expansion

Arkham Horror: The Card Game – Before the Black Throne: Mythos Pack is a 1–2 player adventure with an approximately 120-minute play time, released in 2019. It is the sixth and final Mythos Pack in The Circle Undone cycle.

After the events of In the Clutches of Chaos, you have left your city and your world behind. An impossible distance still separates you from the nighted throne where your ultimate foe stirs, and you must continue across the cosmos while being chased by your fate.

This scenario introduces the unusual empty space mechanic. You may be forced to remove the top card of your deck and place it facedown to represent the seemingly infinite space dividing you from the rest of humanity. Empty space is not a location: it cannot be entered or investigated.

• Place the top card of your deck facedown to create empty space.
• Use a Cosmos location to fill that space and reclaim the lost card.
• Follow each Cosmos card’s connecting instruction when placing it.

The new Cosmos deck presents impossible places that do not have fixed positions or predetermined connections. Instead, every Cosmos card provides an instruction that determines how it must connect, creating a journey unlike the locations you have encountered before.

Torn away from everything familiar, it may be tempting to surrender to existential dread. Yet in Before the Black Throne, even delaying the inevitable can be part of the battle—and the confrontation is not over while the path to the throne remains open.
