Arkham Horror (Third Edition)

About this board game

Arkham Horror (Third Edition) is a cooperative board game for 1–6 players, with sessions lasting about 180 minutes. Set in 1926, it casts players as investigators fighting to rid the world of eldritch beings known as the Ancient Ones.

Arkham may be celebrating the Roaring Twenties, but a dark shadow is growing beneath its smoke-filled speakeasies and glittering nightlife. Alien entities lurk beyond space and time, pressing against the thresholds between worlds while occult rituals threaten to unleash horrors into reality.

Working together, players must investigate the city and gather the clues needed to understand the danger. They will also need to confront terrifying monsters, stop occult rituals, and find useful tools and allies if they hope to stand against the forces gathering beyond the veil.

• Cooperative play: All investigators work together against the game’s eldritch threats.
• Investigative objectives: Gather clues and uncover what is happening in Arkham.
• Supernatural conflict: Defeat alien creatures and oppose the Ancient Ones.
• 1920s setting: Explore a city caught between celebration and cosmic horror.

Based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Arkham Horror (Third Edition) combines investigation, dangerous encounters, and a desperate struggle to protect the world. Every investigator is part of a small group standing between Arkham and a ruined dominion beyond space and time.
