Arkham Horror: The Card Game is a card-based investigative adventure game published by Fantasy Flight Games as part of their Arkham Horror Files range of Cthulhu Mythos-related products.
Overview
Replacing Fantasy Flight's first Mythos Card Game, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game, Arkham Horror is a fairly major departure from the other. Instead of being a player-versus-player game (as was Call of Cthulhu), Arkham Horror is intended to be cooperative in nature, with players taking on the roles of Investigators attempting to find out more about the supernatural events which plague Arkham, and put a stop to them.
Gameplay
Players start by choosing which Investigator they wish to play, and then build their deck from there. Each Investigator comes with a small number of unique cards which they are required to incorporate into their decks (which affect gameplay in ways which other Investigators do not), but are otherwise free to choose from a large selection of cards which drastically affect the way they are able to play the game.
Instead of facing off against other players, the Investigators play against an Agenda Deck, which dictates the events and actions perpetrated by their Mythos opponents. The Agenda Deck advances the goals of the enemy each turn, and should the Investigators take too long to complete their goal, they will automatically lose the game.
Expansions
In addition to the core set, a large number of expansions have been released for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Each of these adds new elements to the basic game, and new adventures for the Investigators to play through. The expansions have generally been released in waves (referred to as "cycles," with each cycle being thematically linked, and normally containing one deluxe expansion and a number of smaller packs.
