About this expansion

Arkham Horror: The Card Game – Black Stars Rise: Mythos Pack is a 1–2-player card game scenario for a 120-minute session, released in 2018. It is the latest chapter in The Path to Carcosa cycle, continuing an investigation that has carried you far beyond Arkham.

When the answers could no longer be found in Arkham, the investigators crossed the Atlantic to France. After exploring the catacombs beneath Paris, they now arrive at the island commune of Mont Saint-Michel, where brooding clouds gather overhead and a storm threatens more than the weather.

Black Stars Rise deepens the campaign’s descent into uncertainty and madness. You have seen the Stranger, the Pallid Mask, and the Tattered Cloak. Now, the darkling spires of Carcosa are pushing through the barriers between dimensions, while the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

This Mythos Pack also expands the player card pool with new options whose reassuring names conceal a darker truth. Among them are:

  • Stick to the Plan
  • Narrow Escape
  • Ward of Protection

Their promises of safety offer only false comfort—perhaps suitable only for investigators who have already looked too closely at the impossible. With Hastur poised to rule over all, every step forward in Black Stars Rise leads deeper into the unsettling tale of Carcosa.
