About this expansion

Arkham Horror: Kingsport Horror Expansion is a big-box expansion for 2–8 players, with a playing time of approximately 240 minutes. Released in 2008, it adds the town of Kingsport to the Arkham Horror series.

The Great Old Ones have returned to Massachusetts, and this time their monsters are being unleashed on Kingsport. Players join new investigators in the fight, working to save the world before these powerful beings stir from their slumber.

Kingsport introduces a new game board featuring the town of Kingsport, giving the expansion its own setting within the Arkham Horror experience. The threat includes new creatures, and the struggle ultimately leads to a confrontation with a new Ancient One.

The expansion adds a substantial collection of characters, beings, cards, and monsters to the game. Its major additions include:

  • 8 new Investigators
  • 4 new Ancient Ones
  • 2 Heralds
  • 3 Guardians
  • A new board featuring Kingsport
  • Tons of cards and monsters

Heralds bring additional forces to the conflict, while Guardians offer a helpful counterpart: like Heralds, but supportive rather than harmful. Together with the new investigators and creatures, they broaden the forces involved in the battle for Massachusetts.

Arkham Horror: Kingsport Horror Expansion is designed for an extended battle against supernatural threats, combining a new location with a large set of added content. Whether facing the monsters in Kingsport or preparing for the arrival of an Ancient One, players must strive to protect the world before the Great Old Ones awaken.
