About this expansion

Arkham Horror: Innsmouth Horror Expansion is a 2009 expansion for 1–8 players with an approximately 180-minute play time. It brings the investigators to Innsmouth, a decrepit Massachusetts fishing village consumed by an ancient pact and haunted by terrible creatures from the sea.

The town is hostile to investigators as they explore its rotting docks and fetid beaches. They may be thrown in jail or fed to a Shoggoth while searching for evidence to call in the Feds. Meanwhile, leaving Innsmouth unchecked allows the Deep Ones to gather and rise, bringing an Ancient One with them.

Innsmouth Horror introduces several new concepts to the Arkham Horror series. Personal Stories give each investigator a unique path, while the Innsmouth Look adds another distinctive element to the investigation. The expansion also adds an Innsmouth board featuring the town and its dangerous locations.

  • 16 new investigators
  • 8 new Ancient Ones
  • 2 new Heralds
  • Epic Battle cards for the new Ancient Ones
  • More than 30 new monster markers
  • Many new encounters and over 300 new cards in total

From Devil Reef to the town’s decaying streets, the investigators must search for a way to confront the forces gathering near Innsmouth. Perhaps saving the town means destroying it along with the creatures haunting its waters. With its new stories, encounters, enemies, and expansion board, Arkham Horror: Innsmouth Horror Expansion greatly broadens the base game’s Massachusetts horror setting.
